A boy and his dog

Here is my next project:


This is an 8 x 10 acrylic and markers on canvas. I still need to apply spray varnish to protect it.  Just wanted to upload this as soon as it was dry.  I am going to have prints made and will be in my Etsy shop soon.  I also would welcome any comments and suggestions or even just to say Hi - have a great week!

Tony Curtis

As I have maybe mentioned before, I love classic movies.  Turner Classic Movies is my favorite cable station.  Today, I was watching a Tony Curtis movie, The Vikings, from 1958.  I knew that he also is an artist, so after I checked out IMDB.com (Internet Movie Database) to find his official website and to read a little about him, I went to his website, to check out his paintings.  His work reminds me of my fav artist, Matisse and a some of Manet.  I will post pics of some of his artwork later.  In the meantime, click on his website above and enjoy - :)

Sisters in the Pink

I ran across a sketch I made of these two girls in my art room:


 and thought to bring it to life (and color) to this:

This is on canvas on wood, 8x10, with acrylic paints and markers.  My sister, Kelly saw it today and wanted to buy it, so it is on hold for now. But I will have prints of it on sale in my etsy store soon.
