My grandson and I were a flea market several years ago when I purchased this vintage Little People
boat. I told him we would try to float it on the pond at our estate. Unfortunately, that never happened. Now he is probably too old to enjoy playing with toys of this type. I decided to use the boat in my latest "Little People" painting.
The "Little People" series continues. I totally enjoy painting shiny surfaces with the airbrush.
My friend gave me this coin bank several years ago as a Christmas gift. I have used it as subject matter in several paintings. The bright colors and shiny surfaces make it very appealing to paint.
The latest addition to the "Top" series.
A new addition to the "Top" series.
The top series continues! I've always admired the graphics and color on these toy relics from a bygone era.
I purchased this Santa toy a few years ago and finally decided to use it in a painting.
This painting depicts a top I recently purchased at a local flea market. I enjoy painting tops because of the bright colorful characters and the reflection of the shiny metal surface.
This Big Boy coin bank was a Christmas gift I received a few years ago. I've enjoyed painting it numerous times over the years. I always enjoy painting bright colors and shiny plastic surfaces.
This Fisher-Price Humpty Dumpty toy dates from 1971. I placed it on a mirror with a single light shining on it to achieve the reflective image.
My wife found this "South of the Border" themed top at a local flea market. It has been a while since I painted a top and knew I had to do this one.
I wanted to start the new year off with a humorous piece.
