Someone's Grandmother, oil on paper, 15 x 19


At least I suppose she's a grandmother. I love going to antique stores and finding old photos. I've used a lot in my non-painting work and now I am beginning to play with them in paintings. I want to keep the looseness and wacked out colors of the farm animal pieces in more and more of my work.
I have just finished this 48 x 48 commission (see below) and so now I am freed up to paint what strikes me. I still have a local show coming up...The Intown Artists' Show and Sale. It will be the first weekend in December and will have my unsold blog pieces in it as well as some other stuff I've created of late. The great thing for you is that the pieces will be inexpensive since they are small. I've already sold many as gifts. Original art for a song. I love that.
I will be showing with 9 other fine artists. We do this show every year (though I was absent last year). It is a great opportunity to see many artists from different mediums together for one long weekend. See my web site for more info...I'll add details soon.

I really think this commission is one of your most exciting paintings I have seen. I was blown away when I saw it. It will look awesome with your "Holy Cow" painting.
