It’s been a while since I shared any new paintings. This was one I started a while ago and put on the back burner- it was even starting to get dusty! I finally felt boldenough to start blocking in the fish last night. #painting #fish #surreal #stilllife

Work in progress shot of a painting I am working on. It will be called “Next Generation Hardware” when it’s done. #art #painting #robots #stilllife

Working on some colored pencil sketches to loosen up after painting detail in my oil paintings. Okay. I guess even when I loosen up, I’m not that loose. 😂 #art #drawing #stilllife

It is. 😜 I love Dutch still life paintings and spotting the artists hidden in the reflections of their paintings, so I couldn’t resist doing it myself.

Hardee’s and Carls Jr were owned together, and I remember that they shared happy meal type toys. We only had a Carl’s Jr near us.

Painted all day today, and it’s always so nice when a painting wants to be born. 😊

Work in progress on a new painting. I haven’t painted flowers in a long time, so it’s fun to get back to it! #art #oilpainting #puns #wip

Aw, thank you! Nothing like silliness paired with craftsmanship- at least that’s what I’m aiming for.😊
