The Phoenix

I posted this painting on Craig's List. A guy at work suggested I do that. I don't know - no nibbles. Anyway, . . .

Trouble usually comes in torrents - when it rains it pours. My mother had just died and I was in art school. Everything was going wrong, but I tried to paint a phoenix rising from the ashes. I was really pleased with the can of paintbrushes but decided to paint Jesus over the Mickey Mouse phoenix. Painting and Jesus are what got me through 1998.

A New Day

Well, I'm finally back on-line after a year's hiatus. We'll see how this goes. I watched Lions for Lambs on satellite TV and will probably watch A Duel in the Sun on my Netflix video.

This painting is called Devotions, but I'm not happy with it and will work on fine-tuning the way I apply paint.
