Thanks To My Model


"Phenomenon"
oil on canvas
24" x 24"

I just got back from a vacation.  I consider it "vacation" because I didn't take any paints, but I certainly found some new subjects for future painting trips.  I could go on and on, but to sum it up, we rented a convertible and drove through a good chunk of California...Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Central Valley, Monterrey, San Francisco, and everything in between.  It was a phenomenal trip.  

I was happy to discover I had some good luck while I was gone.  Both of my paintings were accepted in the 92nd Annual Hoosier Salon Exhibition won awards.  The painting of my wife, pictured above, won "Best Figure".  She's a babe.  She also puts up with me, which is a tall order.  I'm a lucky guy.
