Puffins are the cutest! They're like the clowns of birds. Painting this was a lot like making jewelry, I guess because the brushes are so small. It's on gallery wrapped canvas.

Xmas Cocoa


 This was inspired from Unsplash photographer Olivie Strauss. I was listening to The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, while I painted it.

Party Animal and Cool Hands

 



I still listen to books on tape while I paint. While painting Cool Hands, I listened to Gray Mountain by Grisham. It's interesting and sad. I'm learning a lot about strip mining. Thanks for looking. Also, I work mostly from photographs and I got these two from Unsplash.

Been Thinking about Chickens


I have been thinking about chickens. My grandmother had them and my mother was always picking one up and hugging it, (gross.) Anyway, I guess cats will have to suffice. Still one can dream and paint.

The second painting is a scene from my favorite movie. I think the actress, Jennifer Ehle, who played Elizabeth is wonderful. The sincere, loving expression she gives Mr. Darcy is... sincere and loving. Playing opposite Colin Firth could have helped, maybe a little, perhaps a very little.
