Hen House

                                  6"x6" acrylic on wood panel
                                   SOLD
This is the same hen as below in a different pose. I like the warm tones here.
My old Grandmother was a collector of all things chickenish (is that a word?)
She had chicken pictures, chicken plates ,chicken cups, little ceramic chickens, chickens on her apron....in fact... she sorta looked like a hen with glasses...same little beak of a nose...round body ...skinny legs... in a good way though. Sorry Gramma!

Golden Brown

This is my goal..to be old and comical but most of all to be free to lay in the sun like an old dog. I might  even take to wearing a watch like this old coot just to be able to see how long I've been cooking.

WELCOME

I thought I should start using this as a way to get some exposure for works that I don't have on my website. I'll try to post new paintings as they come out of the studio.This one is called 'Green Plate'

The Studio

This is where I do almost all of my work. It's a nice space right next to our home. A bit cold in winter with just an old woodstove for heat.Our poor old hound pictured here is no longer around to keep me company. Old age got him.
