Sugar Skulls (in progress)

This painting is still on the easel and is slowly evolving into a odd little still life.  I still need to put more texture into the table cloth and the skulls. You might also notice I have not painting in the legs of the butterfly.  I'm hoping to have this painting done by mid May so that I can start on my next still life.

Art Visit




This week, I had an opportunity to visit the home of one of my collectors.  It was great seeing a few of my old paintings in one place.  I feel I have more paintings to do in my life time.  These paintings were done before I became one of the stable artists at the John Pence Gallery in San Francisco.
