Cloudy Connection
Oil on 1/4" Board. Approx 6"x6" SOLD
This is my entry for the new Daily Paintworks Challenge which benefits JAPAN. This is a huge deal because the auctions are all help on DPW so 100% of the money goes to the charity. No fees and free posting AND it's open to anyone. I strongly urge anyone and everyone to post a painting to the new challenge to help those in need.

Three Figs

Behind the Flower
Oil on 1/4" Board. Approx 6"x6" SOLD

Pewter. That is a strange metal. It's not shiny and has a antique look to it. I think this is the first pewter piece I've used in a still life..and it won't be the last. Stay tuned.
