Hello everyone.  Happy New Year!

Today, I have something a little special and different.  A new painting, the first for 2026 and I have titled it “Prime Innocence”.  

It’s special because I have not painted a ‘primate’, ummm, a monkey in quite some time.  So, here it is.  I didn’t want to call it “Monkey” — too obvious.  Instead, small monkeys are called ‘primates’ and in this case, I wanted to capture the fact that it’s a baby with an innocent look on its face.  I hope I have accomplished that — you be the judge.  

The different thing I’m doing is adding a time-lapse of this painting (recorded as I painted it), complete with voice-over I added to add some value to my process as an artist.  My friend Chris (Hi Chris!) had suggested I do this at one time, so I thought I’d try it out and see if people like it.  If so, I might do it again.  However, in the day and age of Artificial Intelligence, it’s also a way to show I am a true artist and not one who renders via some kind of app.  It IS digital art, but it is my hands that paint it.

Anyhow, the video is linked down below the painting, or you can simply click here to view it:  Prime Innocence Time Lapse

Thank you for stopping by.  Enjoy the art.  It brings me a lot of enjoyment and peace.  I hope to extend that to you.

 Like that 'eagle' that landed on the moon in 1969 -- it's landed!  

So, here I am -- finally posting this.  I finished it in Feb of this year (2025) but kept forgetting to put it up.  So, here it is.  I love the bald eagle.  I love it's form, it's majesty and it's representation of freedom.  So, for me 'Independence Day' is every day -- especially when I see an eagle.  But like freedom, one can never rest and become complacent.  We must always protect the freedom we enjoy.  It's special.  

Kilo was a favorite horse of my wife's.  This is not the actual horse, but a painting I did and when she saw it, she said, "That looks a lot like my horse when I was kid".  Then she told me his name.  Once I realized this.  I decided I needed to post here on my site.  THAT was 4 years ago, in 2021.  I did not mark on the painting a month or day (unusual for me), but I think I know why.  I had never intended to post it.  However, my wife insisted I do so...so, ladies and gents, meet Kilo!
