How Long Gone?

It hasn't quite been 6 months since the last post, but close enough. Thanks to Mike C for missing me!

Well, things here in Friedmopolis are as crazy as ever with Lennie either at school or studying 18 hours a day... Every day... For the last half year. How is it that some people can survive on 5-6 hours of sleep? For me, anything less than 8 1/2 and I'm like a creature from the Thriller video. But he's goal-oriented and focused. He wants all A's. I want 8 1/2 hours of sleep and a cookie.

Anyhoo, these paintings are how I've passed the long lonely hours. Sorry Ella, you're cute and all but you can't even say the word, "Milk." Our conversations aren't as stimulating as I'd like. But when I say you're cute, I really mean it. Now practice, "Mmmmmiiiiiillllk"


Seahorses, 36x36. So much fun to paint this one!

Lennie's portrait, 24x36. Much more labor intensive, but there is a plus side. Lennie is totally humiliated by the fact there is a portrait of himself hanging in our living room. Next time, I am going to transpose his face onto a centaur (just like Alex Rodriquez's girlfriend claims he has in his house) and title it, "Oh Mighty Beast."

This last one is just me playing with pretty colors (36x48). This one has so much paint on it that I might have been high on the fumes -but hopefully the brain damage was minimal. But really, who can tell?

I hope everyone who still occasionally checks in to see if I'm alive is surviving their own busy Decembers. Have a great Holiday Season!
