Slappin' for Cows, Monterey Bay, California, USA

Got to add the red buoy in the background to get perspective between bull and shore, but this is close enough for now. Kinda proud of this one, actual event, to scale. Pretty stupid skipperin' of me, getting so close to a bull Humpback signaling his availability to a pod of cows about five miles behind us unseen in this painting. July 4, 1995.

Lena Loves Lviv at Christmas

OK, I know your first thoughts, they're mine, too. But you know what? I think this one is gonna sing when I'm through. The face just peeps in, chin, jaw, cheeks to work on along with everything else, and the hair is only half-finished. But I think it will work.

I have one portfolio named "Euro Chix Vol. 1." "Lena" is the first up in "Euro Chix Vol. 2."

Wall of Wood...

No hidden meaning. To better transport and display pieces, and put them in an affordable size, I'm doing a lot of smaller mounted works. Here's some of the winners and losers, still in progress, for the chix. I also have some more sailing stuff coming in smaller formats, too.

I tellz ya, mixing skin color for darker people is not easy. Sienna, blue, green, orange, and so on. Yes, green.

Moving Along with Anna

Changing working names a bit... pardon the glare and focus on Anna, just wanted to show composition and color. Both in progress.

Blonde: Anna Doesn't Care about Wind or Jets
Red: Karina Dissolves Her Blues with Heat
