Why?

I know...
But I had to come up with a reason why in the world a nude model would be holding a trombone...
So this whole mythological scene grew, 3 fawns, 9 kewpies, and a centaur later... wallah.

I did use the Norman Rockwell "if a painting is going badly I put in a puppy". But I've also created my own- If you need to take up a bunch of space in a drawing, put in a tuba!

Mural in New Palestine

This homeowner found me on Craig's List and asked me to paint his mini barn. There's a whole history of Mail Pouch barn advertisements. And with this warmish weather we've had this spring doing a mural outside was no problem. One great part about this project is that you can see it from the road across the park that borders his property. What fun!

Roller Coaster Complete!

This is what you've all been waiting for! The roller coaster was completed. It was named the "zero gravity coaster" because gravity had little to no effect on it. I had to push the car to get it to go down the ramps and loop-de-loops. Then I got sick of tripping over it for the past month. So I shot this video of it and some good people helped me take it down.

It was great fun to have a roller coaster around my entire dinning room. It was also great to accomplish a goal of mine. Keep watching this blog to see what i do next.

First Church Tomb

My old church called me with a Easter pagent emergency. They needed me to paint a new wall section for the tomb. It was my first job color matching and I'm quite happy with the results.

(Another artist did the greenery and the stone was from last year.)
