This is another piece in the "Little People" series. It seems this one has a more surrealistic look.

The Rockcliffe Mansion series continues. Once again this was a challenge working with the darks and lights.

We were snowed under like much of the middle of the country this past weekend. Travelling to our small hometown I saw this train travelling by the crossing. Without my 35 mm camera I decided to photograph the scene with my smartphone camera. I had to make a few adjustments in the painting process to make it work.

My interest in painting interior scenes continues. The subdued lighting is always a challenge.

8-Track

In the stone age before streaming music and long before cassettes and CDs, 8-track tapes were a very popular means of playing music. My latest painting depicts an 8-track player and tapes. Recently, I've been including a smoking cigarette and ash tray in some of my retro pieces. I was never a smoker but most of my friends from years ago were. I include the cigarettes in the painting as a way of remembering them.
