Dressing Down
Another sketch of a photo of a sculpture. That face angle was a bear to get right!

Poppies
I love Poppies. They’re almost like paper flowers that come with their own little fireworks display. When the pods are ripe, they explode seeds everywhere. How cool is that?

Lady in Shawl
Another one done from a photo of a bust. Seems the classics had the women either naked and on full display or fully covered, prayerful and looking like the virgin Mary.

Fly Away
New oil painting from a photo I took while on a walk along the bridge connecting my island to the mainland. I rather like the way this one came out and there is even a lady I work with that may be interested in buying it once I have it framed. I’m going to let…
