"Gears of Time"

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Oil on 1/2" Board, 6"x12". NFS...for now

This is a painting I am entering in a Naperville Art League competition. The theme is "Forwards, Backwards". I used the gears in this piece to depicted the theme. When one gear rotates clockwise the next gear it touches turns counter clockwise. Entries are due March 3rd. Wish me luck.

"Jelly Beans"

Oil on 1/2" Board, 6"x5" SOLD.

Today is post number 100! It has been a fantastic journey so far. I can't wait to see where the next 100 will take me. This daily painting challenge has been extremely fulfilling to me as an artist. I want to thank my buyers and subscribers for keeping me going mentally. I do appreciate the support.

"Diner Mug"

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Oil on 1/2" Board, 6"x6". SOLD.

I aquired this mug a couple weeks ago and couldn't wait to paint it. I must admit, it was more challenging then I thought. I tip my hat to the 'mug master' Neil Hollingsworth.

Update

I need to take care of some side work that is building up so I might not be as consistent in the next week and a half with my daily paintings. And, of course, I will post the other work I am doing which includes some freelance illustrative work, a painting for an upcoming competition and a couple of commissioned paintings. Thanks for your patience.

Something a little different today. This is a diptych. Each painting is meant to be framed separately and hang next to each other allowing each composition to compliment the other.
