"Bah Humbug," 12" square, portrait of studio muse Mona Lisa, done in acrylics on a museum quality panel, $599 to the first asking nicely. Just don't disturb her sleep!
In-process photos can be seen on the studio Facebook page.
And my Christmas gift to you? I've set Bah Humbug up on Fine Art America so that you may order prints or notecards. Right. Now.
(You can also order prints of Mona's other two seasonal portraits, "Holiday Lights" and "Candy Cane." Prints start at only $22 and make a fantastic gift!)
Happy holidays!!

The cover of "A Dog Named Blue," now available from Blurb publishers. When I first painted Amelia I never imagined that she would be re-christened "Blue" and inspire a book. In her defense, Amelia had a number of other partners in crime - animals who's portraits seemed to fall into a specific color category and prompt color-centric names. In typical ADD fashion, my brain started spinning 100mph. What if I turned those muses' paintings into a picture book for animal loving kids? I shared my idea with three friends in the industry, and they eagerly offered their expertise. I am truly indebted to them. Illustrator and author Matt Faulkner and children's book author and literacy expert Kristen Remenar edited an early version of the draft. They suggested key plot/conceptual changes that made it oodles better. Designer Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson worked her magic, pairing the images with perfectly color...
En admirant Mona Lisa on a l'impression qu'elle tient un récital... Elle est superbe.
