The Tomato Seller



This is the Tomato Seller, another painting in mu Solitude series. The poor man looks disconsolate; even his dogs ignores him.

The Ferris Wheel Ride oil on canvas 8 x 10


I think this is an adorable painting because it tells a little story. The little girl, my daughter, is pouting because her her nephew is rocking the car. He, of course, is blameless, as he proves to the carnival worker by raising his hands off the bar to show he is not even touching the thing. I'm sure the guy running the ride has seen and heard it all before.

Finished with Steve



This is Steve after another sitting- I will call him finished because I'm just nto sure what else to do with it. "It is what it is" as they say.

Cicleville Mill


This small painting was done for a photograph I took in Circleville, Ohio. I am still learning the entire process when it comes to landscapes but I'll get it.

A Little Bit Behind on the Posts




My husband requested a couple of paintings for a Relay for Life Event in May. His idea was to have a Detroit themed painting and a Cleveland theme, have a print made of each and then use raffle them off competitively-- to see which team sold more tickets. I was just glad he didn't want me to donate an original like I did last year. I could have sold that Woody Hayes painting a hundred times already. So at least I still have these originals to sell as well as prints.
