2014 Calendar

I made up this 2014 Wall Calendar for kicks really - a gift to friends and family.  It's pretty cool so I thought I'd sell them and in memory of my dad, Johnny, donate the proceeds to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home, a cancer hospice here in Atlanta. 

You can preview each month's images here - I picked some of my personal favorite paintings that have the feeling of each month.  It's fun and colorful and beats the boring calendar that your insurance agent gives you at the end of the year.

update ~ the first batch of calendars sold out quickly, more are on the way.  I'll be sure to post an announcement when they arrive.  Thanks to all.

"200 Faces, No. 129"

6 x 6"

oil on panel
sold

A new addition to my ongoing series BUST-ED, paintings inspired from mugshots.

I honestly did not think I could pull off the hair on this young man, which is why I considered this portrait a big challenge.  It took some patience and experimenting with old brushes and a palette knife.  I love the end result, which is more evident in the real painting than the image - it has some wonderful texture.

"The Matriarch"

6 x 6"

From the Art Institute of Chicago, a mother and her two daughters resting on a gallery bench.
