It is as hot as the dickens around here. This handful of flowers were the only survivors worth painting in the back yard and no, I did not paint them in the back yard.... it is 104!! Anyways I put a very low start price on this painting in my ebay auction or you may contact me directly if you are interested in purchasing. click here to go to ebay to find out more about my work you may check out my blog

Beach Talk is one of several little beach paintings that I am working on after a wonderful trip back east to Cherry Grove Beach. On this one I started out with a blueish wash and worked the figures in. I was going to go over the wash totally but as I stood back I really liked the effect of the underpainting showing through. I will be posting them here and also on my online auction site on ebay. To bid click here...

More Than Noodles Show

My tango dancing friend, Becka is also the proud owner of a great Southside Restaurant, 'More than Noodles' She recently provided me with every spare wall in the place to hang my work. I have about 20 paintings down there so go check it out. It is located at 96th and Riverside. Becka's love of dancing has opened up the restaurant to dancers throughout the week with planned Tango Dancing on Sunday nights and I think Thursdays.... Salsa
