Figurative Work
Picture

 I have never put people into my paintings before, but now I'm trying to do just that.  I want to show them doing the little things we do in our daily lives, but I want to do them my way.  I don't have many yet, but I'm working on it.  These paintings are getting a lot of attention, so that's a good thing!  All these paintings are on gallery wrapped canvas.
