“Sharon’s Luscombe” Acrylic on MDF, 7″ x 5″
From time to time I get a commission to paint something so exciting and fun that I wonder why I hadn’t thought to do it already. “Sharon’s Luscombe” is one such commission. Thanks to some dear friends and a new friend in England, I got an opportunity to paint this beautiful Silvaire Luscombe. It was built in the 1940s and Sharon can’t seem to stop flying it. Imagine that. I listened to the Glenn Miller Band playing while I worked on it.

Kitty with Mouse Toy – Acrylic, 7 x 5 in.
The companion piece to “Kitty with Two Toys.” I do love painting cats, but painting my little pal of 16 years is a bit painful. He’s gone, but remains a most enduring subject for paintings.
SOLD
“Kitty with Two Toys”
A little pal of mine from long ago. Grandma gave him the toys, and he brought them to me each night around 3 a.m.
SOLD
“Tish” Acrylic on MDF, 6″ x 6″
“Sunshine Came Softly Through My Window Today”
A memorial painting of kitty Tish, who was a companion to a gentle soul for 20 years. Cats are often close and affectionate friends over the years. And with the passing of a kitty, there is not only the loss of that warm companionship, but also the ending of an era that you sometimes thought would last forever.
Sold
“Dusk” Acrylic on MDF, 7″ x 5″
Night paintings are especially difficult for me, and so they are especially tempting to do.
This is a much traveled road, the road north to Denver, where surgeries are, where dear friends reside, where we board the plane to attend a funeral, where my daughter just bought a new house, where my son worked as a software developer, where Doc Holliday was arrested and jailed, where I met Terry Pratchett, where the Beatles stayed at the Brown Palace Hotel, where I attend a Dylan concert each year, the Mile High City, home of the Denver Broncos and the Unsinkable Molly Brown… yep, that Denver.
