Something Different




I haven't posted this on my website because it doesn't fit in with what I usually paint. This is a wedding portrait commission that came to me last year (long story as to how). I was given a small faded photograph to work from. It was frustrating at first, because the photo was so faded. As things moved along and I invented some of the missing detail, I began to have more fun. Like I said, I don't do these types of paintings often so I did not know what to expect.

Devil's Garden


Here is a little landscape (oil on panel, 10"x12") that I just finished. This is a place I visited a year ago near Escalante Utah, called The Devil's Garden.

Early Childhood Inspiration

I have been looking for this animation from Sesame Street for awhile now. It finally showed up on Youtube. This strange short animation has been stuck in the deepest part of my brain for over 30 years.
