Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and often finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.

"Retirement" Still Life Daily Painting

Original unframed oil painting, 5"x7".
Still life of black bear skull
with aviator style sunglasses.

We've had this black bear skull on our window sill since we picked it up on a hike awhile back. He's missing a few teeth and reminds me of some old guy sitting in the sun just taking life easy in his twilight years.

You've got to feed your husband better.

You're probably right, Bill. Oh wait... my husband still has his front teeth.

Thank you, Pam. It's fun to do something silly once in awhile.

I take it from that you like the painting, Bob?

Thanks for dropping by, Mary; it's nice to hear from you.
