Almighty Dollar

I  was so impressed with a painting of money that I saw recently, that I had to give painting currency a try and put my own spin on it. As much as I love the imagery I must admit I was excited by the technical challenge of all of that detail in such a small scale.  I try and paint trompl'oeil at life size so I really couldn't fake it and paint larger than life and retain the illusion I was going for. It was exacting work under a magnifying glass, and while it was fun to try, it also made me rip my hair out, so I don't think I will be doing many more than the few in my studio right now. 8.5"x9"

Hi there

I thought it might be nice to start a blog in order to share news and give a look at what I'm currently working on, so here it is!!!! I hope to use this blog to document what exactly I am working on and to stay a bit more current than I am able to on my web page. The web page is sort of a greatest hits and the blog represents all of the excerpts and b-sides mixed in with the good stuff. Hopefully it is all good stuff, but I digress....
