Blasts from a not too brilliant past!

So, the best thing about cleaning out portfolios and stacked canvases... Is finding these old pieces of an old style. These paintings were training pieces for me.

Now and back then...

The newest acrylic that I've been working on based off of a poem written about characters within a traveling circus. My twins entitled, "Solange and Félez".
The interesting thing about this piece is that I've painted it before as an oil. It was the fourth oil painting that I ever did. And it was unfinished. The original doubled in size and still retained the intent. However, it didn't turn put in the direction I needed it to go. So, 5 years later, I'm doing it the right way.

Current work in progress.

Two new bird pieces for the show...

"Jail Bird Blues"

"My cart! My CART!"

Belinda the pigeon bag lady. Latest of my bird people series.

New ideas for pieces

Showing dual personalities. Two images of the same person with both characters. I think I'll use actual models ( style will be a cross between hermit and mistress of time).

Real models? What? Yeah, I need to get my portrait skills back in shape.
Any interested parties should respond. First idea is the charlatan.
Charlatan: A charlatan (also called swindler or mountebank) is a person practicing quackery or some similar confidence trick in order to obtain money, fame or other advantages via some form of pretense or deception.
