Mr. Nary Dairy

I'm oil painting on Tuesdays with Julia Diller, thanks to my friend and illustrator Jeannie Hayden who gave me a great kickstart. This is the underpainting...watch for the progress.  I'm nervous just thinking about it.

Workman Family Portrait

Music, traveling, animals, writing, the ocean, family....

Life is in the details

I am as happy as they are!

I'm excited!

It's really fun when I like my paintings, my story, my style.  This is not always the case...but maybe, just maybe listening to everyone talk about voice, voice, voice and going back to my favorite medium, oil painting, and maybe well, it's all just starting to sink in.

Ancient Inspiration

Painted straight on to canvas, no sketch, and totally inspired by our Saturday at LACMA.  Must see  Art of the Ancient Americas  the gallery alone is so cool, designed by Jorge Pardo.
