Here's an old painting of mine called "Greed". I stumbled across it recently and thought that it sums up the atmosphere around here pretty well.I was going to paint over it but ended up hanging it up instead.I feel like a fortune teller. #painting #acrylics #art #fantasy #dystopia

A few years ago,I took up pastel pencils just to learn something new,and started doing fanart portraits.I loved to draw/paint people,but let it go-worried about what would sell (as one does).I've decided it's time paint what I love, so here goes-wish me luck? #fanart#pastelpencil#figurative#art

Sparks.Shoebilled storks.Much cooler than you or I.They bow.They stalk.They are patient as saints and they make machine gun noises with their bills.Plus I bet that this is what dinosaurs looked like.If you'd like more info please visit my website.I'm sure there's a link to it around here somewhere.

"Pilgrimage" (private collection). This one is from a couple of years back. As we continue forward in our lives, it's good to stop and remember where we came from. All of us are immigrants, in one way or another. #traditionalart #acrylicpainting #newcontemporary #animalart

"Migration",14x18 (framed to 15.5x19.5) acrylic on panel.I painted this one thinking about the current state of affairs over here in the U.S.We don't know which way to run-we just know that this is an unsettling time to be here.Good luck to us all!Available online @wowxwowgallery.bsky.social

"Fated" 18x14", acrylic on cradled panel.Who believes in fate?Destiny?Do you believe in coincidence?The world is going through some changes now that seem evil to me.Will this expose the evil to the light and thereby vanquish it?Many questions.Much uncertainty.Time to eat cake and paint, I suppose.

Lemon, Lime and Orange (7x5", acrylic on canvas). I painted these 3 for Cactus Gallery at the end of last year. I had fun with them-so much so that I'm working on Blueberry, Cherry and Grape for the upcoming anniversary group show at Cactus. #traditionalart #animalart #newcontemporary #acrylicart

"Migration" is my newest painting for WOWxWOW's upcoming group show "Uncertainties". It opens this Friday, the 7th online. The future feels very uncertain here in the U S right now, and that's what I was thinking about with this one. Scary times. #uncertaintieswxw #newcontemporaryart #tradart
