New paintings

Inspired by a Led Zeppelin song -






This is just one of those images I keep trying to perfect. This is the 3rd incarnation of this image... vastly different from the others, but still very much the same. This is probably the simplest version thus far. And I know I will paint it again...

New paintings!

I'd had a dry spell since the beginning of November - and haven't drawn or painted anything. I finally broke that today with three paintings, all linked below. :)



One day I was driving in a neighboring city (Lancaster) and from the highway I saw a stack billowing white smoke, the color of which emphasized by the grey of the overcast sky. This is a quickly painted version of that scene.


A tree painting inspired by the last line from the Pink Floyd song "Time". Mostly by the last two words - magic spell.


Another tree much like the very first (split tree) however this one has much different shape and of course, is not split.

I'm sure there will be more in the coming days!

Holiday Season

Public Service Announcement :)

Just a reminder this holiday season that while you're buying gifts for your friends & family & getting great gifts from them - remember that there are millions of people out there less fortunate.

While your out shopping, buy all the stuff needed for a great meal and donate it all to the local food bank (all frozen, canned, or boxed of course).

If you get a new coat this season, donate your old coat (or coats!) to charity - there are so many people out there who don't even have a decent coat - let alone a new one!

And most importantly - donate toys to Toys for Tots!!!!!! Children's clothing & necessities are also always important!!!!!

Have a friend who is hard to buy for and could get anything they want for themselves anyway? Give them a certificate stating you'll donate money to their favorite charity in their name, as a gift to them.


Also - please don't drink & drive - and don't let any of your friends & guests do so!!!!! If you are allowing alcohol at the party, take the keys of anyone who is drinking and doesn't have a designated driver, and let them crash at your place or call them a cab! You know - Call a Cab & Save a Life
