I found this small vintage coloring book at an antique shop last week.  I liked the crayon characters on the cover and knew it would make an interesting painting.

Another in the trompe-loeil series.  I photographed this still-life with morning sunshine which produced the sharp edged shadows.

The "tromp'loeil" series continues.   The drawing in this painting is based on a picture drawn by my grandchild.  As an elementary art instructor for thirty years I saw countless numbers of artwork done by children.  Yet each one was interesting and enjoyable to view.

I was attracted to do a painting of three dimensional objects on a flat paper because of a prior painting.  Visit DailyPaintWorks.com and view my painting "I Must Be Losing My Marbles." The ornaments and crayons in this painting appear very realistic due to their placement on the flat paper with the Santa picture. The shadows are a major part of this piece adding depth to the image. The Santa was drawn with acrylic marker.
