Tree tree tree
Another twisty tree
I was trying to paint this photo of a tree I found on wikimedia.
Do you remember that tree song Mr. Rogers used to sing? It popped up in my brain while I was painting this.

Joaquin Phoenix
My collection of actor paintings is a little embarrassing. And yet, the collection grows, and so does the weirdness.
Joaquin is one of my favorite actors, and I was wishing he would make more movies. Then I looked him up for this painting and found he's making lots of movies... I just haven't seen them. I guess if a movie isn't a big budget blockbuster, it's not on my radar. Sad!

Tomatoes of darkness
Today's still life:
Why are the tomatoes lurking in the dark? Maybe because they are in the nightshade family of flowering plants. Or maybe because they are surrounded by confusion as to whether they are a fruit or a vegetable. Or... I wanted a dark painting next to my kitchen that would coordinate with a dark color scheme. Art!

Dark landscape - a copycat painting
This is my attempt to copy a painting I saw on Pinterest.
And here is the beautiful original painting by Hester Berry:
Sadly, I'm too impatient to bust out the oil paints and palette knives. Squirt some acrylic on a paper plate and GO!

Heeeere's Johnny!
Here's Jack Nicholson from The Shining.
I was trying to paint his face in the scene where he creepily stares out the window.
There might be some out of control paint blobs happening on his mouth. There was a struggle.
Since I've been so lax about posting paintings, I thought I would drop this blog and let the domain name expire. But then I saw a biker gang with "Veni, Vidi, Vici" embroidered on the back of their leather jackets. Hell, that's all the encouragement I need.
