"Old Green GMC"

"Old Green GMC" 5x7 inch Oil/Panel $90

I love old farm trucks and tractors. This was an old GMC I found tucked away in a hedge row a while back and I decided to do a small painting of it. I have a few more in my resource library that I'm sure I'll get to eventually.


Profile of a Sock Monkey

"Profile of a Sock Monkey" 5x5 inch Oil Panel $50

My wife said she read that sock monkeys were making a comeback! She just happens to have one her grandmother made her some $#%??? years ago. He's been sitting up on a shelf in one of the bedroom closets and I decided he needed to come down and sit for a portrait. I say it's a he...I'm not really sure. How do you tell with a sock monkey?

After Byong Hwa Son's "Blood of My Lord"

NFS

This is a little 7x5 inch oil on panel painting I did from an Upper Room Cover (March - April 2010). I love the original painting entitled "Blood of My Lord" by the Korean artist Byong Hwa Son. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything on the artist on the internet.

I wanted to see if I could capture the essence of the original painting and possibly learn something from the experience (it's all learning). I like the results. This painting was done only for the purpose of study and is not for sale.

"With This Bread and Cup"

"With This Bread and Cup" 8x10 inch Oil Canvas

This is one of my favorite things to paint and is a reoccurring theme in my work. Art for me has a very spiritual connection and this theme makes it even more so.

Key On A String

Key On A String 4x6 Oil Panel

This is the first painting of the year. I am committed to doing much more painting this year than last year. Which isn't saying much because last year was bad as far as painting goes. I'm an artist and this is the work the Good Lord means for me to do so I need to be doing it.
