"PB and J No.10"

Oil on Board. Approx 8"x4" SOLD

I tried to be a lot more brushy with this one. I think that added to the thickness of the peanut butter. It was weird, when I built up the peanut butter color it kinda felt like I was smearing the real thing. I think I'm starting to crack up, maybe? It's the lack of sleep with the new born. Lucy is almost 6 weeks old and looking more cute then ever.

"Cookie Line Up"

Oil on Board. Approx 3.5"x8" SOLD

When I first laid this painting out I figured it to be horizontal. After about half way through it, I felt it should vertical. I think it looks more dramatic that way. More interest. What really drew me to this composition and subject were the swirl ridges in these cookies. They were a pleasant challenge.

"Antique Door"

Oil on Board. Approx 6"x6" SOLD

This is a door at my house...the new house in Wheaton that is. It's new to us but is over 40 years old. It has some nice touches to it. Anyway this subject is totally unlike my usual Daily Paintings but it's good to stray from the norm.

"Dachshund Profile"

Oil on Board. Approx 8"x8" SOLD

This is a my dog...one of them actually. This little guy will melt in your arms. He will fall asleep upside down while your holding him. He's a cutie. BUT not nearly as cute as my newborn Lucy. She takes the cake.
