"It was a lunch time visit at the art museum when I sketched this
mother with her son. I thought it was really wonderful that
she had him there to experience great art. What also interested
me was the fact that he seemed to be explaining the work to her."

some of the old masters work and of course there are also
the new exhibits. I can sit and sketch people as they ponder
what is before them. This man stood for a very long time in front
of this fabulous piece...to me he almost became part of the
painting."

Black Moon"
BLACK CAT- Halloween Art #1 - sold
A Painting A Day - Oil on wrapped canvas -8"x8"
haunting me, Ooooooo. I used a little larger canvas this time
to be able to get the overall effect I wanted. I paint most every
day but am not always able to complete a painting in one day,
which was the case with this piece. For a night when spirits of
the dead wander around and witches fly through the sky,
it just seemed appropriate to have a black moon."
