2015 Punxsutawney Phil

2015 Punxsutawney Phil, 6 x 6 inches, Oil on Gessoboard

$ 75. Etsy Shop

OK, so Phil saw another 6 weeks. Here is New York, we'll still have snow through most of April, now matter what he see's or doesn't see. Although Phil has a following in Punxsutawney, PA - other groundhogs from all over the grand USA have their 5 minutes of fame.

Two that come to mind right away are Atlanta, GA and NY City. Tragically, NYC Mayor DeBlasio, actually dropped the 2014 groundhog and that accident resulted in the groundhog's death. So, this year DeBlasio is not allowed to hold the groundhog.

I might start a groundhog series, because there are really good pictures in the Internet to work from. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Cardinal Conclave

ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches Watercolor, $ 18. Buy with Paypal As of this posting the Roman Catholic Cardinals are still in conclave to discover the next pope. I'm not Roman Catholic but I do have a wonderment about the this process because it's so entwined in mystery. This little watercolor Cardinal was at my bird feeder where he grabbed a sunflower seed and quickly flew to a tree limb to perch and enjoy. After which he waits his turn to return.

Little Dee, No.1

Little Dee, No. 1 - Oil on Canvas, 2 x 2 inches with Easel $20. Buy with Paypal This is an experiment to force myself to say more with less. Painting with less brushwork because I have to! Also, I don't paint on canvas, so I have to get use to that. But I am having fun.
