A painting a day(ish) Untitled* 30x30 Oil, sold *can’t remember the title. But now this sheep has a different connotation from the original intent anyway.

A painting a day(ish) The viewing 16x20 oil, sold The first gallery opening of this series was in Charleston SC. They loved the series so much they said “Do more!” I had an older painting of sheep in a field and quickly retrofitted the gallery with my paintings on the wall.

A painting a day(ish) Aloft 36x48 Oil, sold Circa 2016 Early in the series. The idea of a big beautiful bird flying through a contained crapulous space has always been compelling to me.

A painting a day(ish) Any monkey 36x48 Oil sold A few years back I was in full swing with my animals in man made spaces. I started to wonder what else I could do with the idea. I’d been painting and teaching abstract art for about 10 years, so I merged the two ideas. This was the very first one.
