The Rare Snowman

The Rare Snowman, 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Panel Sold - Thank you! It's a warmer day today and the one snowman in the neighborhood is not faring well.  In addition to melting he's got a problem with one of his twig arms.  I take Cooper & Cookie for short walks several times a day and when I saw what was happening to this guy, I knew I had to make a painting of him.   While returning home, I pondered  how many snowmen are not created because of video games.  I know that I don't see them much at all.

Two Snow Cones

4 x 4 inches, Oil on Gessoboard Sold - Thank you   Every now and then, I get humbled at the easel.  Like all artists, I have a love-hate relationship with it.  This painting was inspired by a recent trip to the doctors.  I've seen these shacks many times and each time I say: "I need to pull over and get a picture"  followed by, "I'll do it next time."  Sound familiar?  Well yesterday, I pulled over and got the picture.

Nuthatch for Spring

"Nuthatch Calls for Spring" 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board - Sold OK, update on the weather for the Finger Lakes area of NY.  Snow-COLD...not just cold!  I've been complaining about winter and just like any other time I complain about weather, nothing changes.  So I decided to paint a little bird today.  Lots of them still at my feeders. I've been saving my dryer trap lint for them to soften the nests that are sure to be built.  I'll be putting that out in an netted bag in two weeks.  So Spring will get here...just not in the next two weeks or so.
