At Sea

At the beach house we have these little birds flittering about.   Eventually I decided to make an oil painting of one of them.

Storm Chaser II

Through the Internet, I made friends with several professional storm chasers that allowed me to use their photos. One of the guys I met is a complete adrenaline junkie, he cage dives with sharks, is the only person who's been inside a live volcano.  He actually got married in a volcano and has a show called Angry Planet.  He was most definitely an interesting guy.

Cherry Blossoms

While on the cherry blossom kick, I thought I would make another one.  Encaustic mixed media.
