I've been painting again...

It has been a couple years since I really painted. Well, for the last few weeks I have really been taking advantage of the time indoors. Thanks to the advice of a friend, I set up shop downstairs in the unfinished basement and have the best studio ever! I have started and finished four paintings since new years and have done some work on some older unfinished paintings as well.

Above is my makeshift studio - it has been working great - I have tons of room to move and hang the paintings to dry. It is pretty cold downstairs though. I have to basically keep the space heater right at my feet on particularly chilly nights.


These are my latest two. Two of the greatest and most influential artists of the last century - Dali and Picasso...

I will try to update the blog more regularly... I am considering doing an entry of all my (decent) paintings to date. I did a small inventory today and I believe I have close to 30...

Snow, Snow, Snow

The following are pictures of Brianna's first REAL adventures in snow. Sure, she's been around for a couple winters, but she has never REALLY played in it... until now.

I always take pictures of Nannie's faces... she loves to make them all.

She really seems to like the snow - it certainly helps to have her all bundled up!

Frosty didn't make it

Well, I am officially a blog-slacker. So much happened in October, November December of last year that I neglected to post - so we will have to do a ketchup post... later.

As for today, we'll show off the snow. It has consistently been snowing for about four weeks. At least once every 4 days or so. Here we finally made Brianna a snowman...

Cute right? Nice round Buddha belly, matching scarf and hat... (he even has some admirable pectoral muscles ) very well done, I'd say - Unfortunately he only stood for a week - well he is still technically standing... but without his charming head.


Brianna was upset only for a moment. She discovered the Frostycapitation (say it quickly aloud :) ) Saturday morning... We'll fix him up this weekend!
