The Boston Tea Party

The Boston Tea Party


Nibblefest this month is "Tea Time" so for me to paint the Boston Tea party seemed almost a little too obvious.

In this painting, Lola (our inherited Boston Terrier) and Mr. Wiggles are reunited for a little tea party!

The Boston Tea Party

This painting is 8x10 (I'm making an effort to work larger this year) and is oil on canvas.

As with all Nibblefest entries, this one starts at just 99¢, no reserve!  This is just a 3 day auction, it ends on Thursday, August 27.

The People's Art Contest! February theme - Eggs!

Attention artists!  You might be interested in this art contest my friend Christine has started.  Here's a copy/paste of the brief description:

About This Contest

The People's Art Contest (PAC) is a completely democratic art contest. The monthly theme is chosen by the people, the prize amount and number of places paid depend on the number of people who enter, and the people are the judges

It's only $6 to enter, and you can enter any 2D work (painting or drawing, new or old, sold or available).  The participating artists are the people who vote.

For this month I'm entering a painting I did in 2009, I probably posted it here back then:

30/30 Challenge, Day Twenty Nine: Major Wuss

Oil on Wood Panel

For painting #29 I decided to try another more realistic painting.   This is Buttercup/Kevin/Carl, now most commonly known as "Major Wuss."  He's our largest cat, and is the biggest wuss you'd ever want to see.  He has a perpetual look of alarm on his face and is always ready to run off in terror.  There are other things too but I don't feel like writing a story.

30/30 Challenge, Day Twenty Eight: Baby Cornelius

Baby Cornelius is one of my favorite paintings from this challenge.  The real Baby Cornelius belongs to my son's girlfriend, who made him herself when she was little :)

This is painting #28, only two more to go!

30/30 Challenge, Day Twenty Five: Sparky and the Squid

The Monster at the Window

"The Monster at the Window"

Sparky heard something tapping at the window and was afraid it was a monster! Luckily(?) it was "only" the squid.

For this painting I decided to piggyback on one of DPW's (Daily Paintworks) challenges which featured a tuxedo cat looking out the window. I thought this was an excellent opportunity to bring Sparky into the challenge, with of course his nemesis, the squid.

Today is my dog Linda's fourth birthday, so I decided to paint her portrait for "painting 23".  I love this dog so much!
