Something new!

A banana, acrylic, 4x6" SOLD

Over the last several months, I've gotten back to painting!  With two little kids, it is difficult to carve out time.  But my sweetie has helped me make time to do it.  I have a backlog of paintings--both small and large--that I've completed recently.   I will get those paintings posted and will put up new work as it is completed.

So we made the move to Minnesota, of course. With all the excitement of moving into a new house, starting a new job, and getting settled in, there has been almost no time for painting. But I did manage to sit down the other day in my new studio with my brushes and a nectarine to do some work. After a few months away from painting, I wasn't sure how it would turn out. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I hadn't forgotten everything I've learned.

As if moving halfway across the country and starting a job weren't enough, Laura and I decided to adopt a puppy! We've been debating about this for, well, always. And a sweet, fuzzy, one year old cockapoo was offered to us free of charge. We weren't sure about it, but after puppysitting him for a weekend we found that he had suckered us in. So we kept him. He's housebroken, which is wonderful. And he loves attention, which I don't think will make it very easy to increase the time I get to spend painting. But he's a sweetheart and we are so thankful to have the little furball.

So I present to you, Hero the Cockapoo.
