Blog - On the Easel

A collection of updates, recent information and things that inspire me.

Clear Headed

Clear Headed 8"x6" oil on panel. Ba Dum cheee, I couldn't resist the title, what else are you supposed to call a head you can see into?

Blue Dog

Blue Dog oil on panel 10"x8". I found this hilarious 70's bank. I like that it is so anthropomorphic, it plays back and forth between a deadpan, almost documentary still life and a character that begs for an emotional connection.

Smoking Monkey

Smoking Monkey 7"x5" oil on panel. Cool trompe l'oeil subject, I remember these from when I was a kid. I love toys in their wrappers, they are kind of melancholy unused waiting to be opened. I don't think this toy would go over well these days.
