Its been a crazy busy month, and it being my favorite month, with my favorite holiday I thought I would share two of the new works now available at Twilight Comics in Shiloh, IL.These paintings are continuing my exploration of texture that I have been really getting back into as of late. It used to be a big thing for meas late as two years ago, but having creative tourettes, I moved on to other things for a while and have now remembered why I spent years painting thick, or on a pre-textured surface. Its just TOO much fun. : )

For more Info be sure to check out the Store section of the the site. More cool stuff to come this weekend so keep a lookout!

Typically the cold inspires paintings of snow and ice. And while I have done my share of those paintings, one very recently in fact, I wanted to do something different.

This was originally painted at the Belle Clair Fairgrounds this November during the Kay Weber Fall Art and Craft show. It was a very blustery cold day and all I could think about was how I wanted to get warm. Thoughts of hot beverages and warm muffins are always a great way to warm up. The real thing is always better. This image falls somewhere in between those two realities for me. 

With the Ice storm outside tonight, I just thought this would go over better than an image of a snow park.

The original is currently available in the store
Gnight,
