{Bubba, The Force - original acrylic on 8x10 inches gallery wrapped canvas} "It's soooo good!! It looks just like him. We all absolutely love it." - J.S. of Virginia Oh my, I can't get over his adorable teeth sticking out.

2022-10-23T14:56:14-04:00

{Adding some shading to the yellow gerberas on Keri's Bridal Bouquet} Don't you just get lost in that middle gerbera? I do. I love how the light hits some of the petals and how the shading creates a depth to it.  This is my view when I paint. I sit on my chair, indian style and with my face only a foot away from the canvas. Sometimes when I'm doing very detailed work my nose almost touches the [...]
