More Of The Same

Taking a closer look at some pictures I finished recently. Who are these people? I wonder about how photos eventually get lost to time, no one to remember who they are.

Happy To Be Here

This is Jadwiga Lipinski. Jadwiga is a name that means contemptuous one. Lipinski means place of the Linden tree. I think the look on her face fits her name.

No-Tell Motel

Still a few old good ones out there.

My Muse

I love these things. This is my favorite, weird little guy. My brother called them "perkies". He had a friend who made little movies about them, moved them around to different locales and told funny stories about them. They are just the right amount of creepy and silly.

Where Does The Time Go?

Saw Leo Kottke perform last night. Saw him 37 years ago in Rhode Island. Sigh...I'm old. 

This painting is a gal from a vintage glamour shot. I like her smile, I like the turquoise sky. Any thing with polka dots is alright by me.

I Thought I Wanted To Paint Pet Portraits

So I had this idea that I would paint pet portraits. This is Leroy and Blu. 

Grey Skies..Spring Ahead

Today it has snowed again and I stepped in a ton of dog doo trying to clear an area for the dogs.

I'm not a snow person, not a winter person, I don't ski, sled, skate or revel in the bone chilling temperatures of the arctic air masses that sweep over this vast plain that was once a vast body of water. I do like dinosaur fossils and plan to look for some this summer. But when I was a little kid I wanted to be a cowgirl so this is pretty darn close living here. I just really liked the outfits, not the riding or buckerooing. So I got a ten gallon hat which looks ridiculous on me and a pickup truck and I'm all set.
