Happy in Mexico

We have been spending time in Mazatlan for about seven years and feel so fortunate to be here again especially in November. 

i love the people and the gracious friendly look at life.  

I brought a few small boards to paint in the early mornings. We are on a two hour time difference which means watching the sunrise and the sun setting over the Sea of Cortez at 5:30pm

Red Gloves

  My boxer painting will be on display at Dick Blick's the month of October with fellow artists who participated in the Art at the Arnold . 

The Arnold Swartzinnager Classic is held yearly in Columbus and a number artists are invited to paint the live model during the week long event. 

This boxer was an excellent model and a perfect specimen.

I had the privilege to be invited to donate a painting for this wonderful organization at their biannual fund raiser. My painting sold at the live auction held at The Columbus Museum of Art. The piece was sold for $5,500. 

i was so excited!

Painting a winter scene was on my mind and in the last two weeks I completed this 36"x48" oil on Diabond.

"Headlights" 

Unfortunately photographing this painting has been difficult because of its dark subject matter but the original looks pretty good.

i was driving home on a back road when this cool lightening storm was stirring up!
