Checkin' the Waves, Oil on Canvas 11x14

This is our adorable grandson at the beach. This reminded me of surfers in our community standing on a crossover to the beach and checking the waves, deciding whether to go to school (or work, as the case may be).

This little cutie was so engrossed in his phone that he was ignoring the sweet, fat treat beside him. The scene was further enhanced by the beam of sunlight on his head.

The Farrier, 16x20 Watercolor Equine Art

I am primarily an oil painter, but I enjoyed doing this watercolor. I suppose it's unusual to have a horse's rear end be prominent in a painting, but I loved the farrier's pose.

Quillyfish

These little fish are for the Just Another Fish on the Wall exhibit at the Fifth Avenue Gallery in Melbourne on April 4th. The technique is called Quilling, hence my title, "Quillyfish." I look forward to seeing what the talented artists around here make for the exhibit.

This is my small dual-purpose seascape. Flip it and it becomes river rapids with a forest in the background.
