  • My First Publication!

    For the first time, and from my blog to your eyeballs, I’d like to present to you: “THAT FISH ON YOUR DISH” (A book for children with eco-conscious parents) This is my first publication.  I created this out of concern I’ve had for fish that are red-listed (or endangered) because of poor fishing practices or…

  • Fish With Watering Can

    Acrylic on Canvas –  11″x14″ This painting sold within two days of putting her on display.  I’ve been considering jacking up my prices, so you might want to hurry and grab one soon. This particular painting is a pastiche of Renoir’s “Girl With Watering Can”.  I think the inspiration to do a Renoir came from…

  • Nefertiti as a Fish

    Oil on Canvas – 8″x10″ I was able to post this to Redbubble.  Check it out! Please stand by…

  • Marilyn Mon-What?! (Copyright)

    Oil on Canvas – 16″x20″ Zazzle did it again.  It removed another one of my fishy parodies while claiming that I infringed on somebody’s copyright.  This time, it was my rendition of Marilyn Mon-Fish-Roe (image to the left). I decided to reply to their ‘notice’ and inform the ‘kind folks’ at Zazzle that my intellectual…

  • Fish Playing Cello

    Acrylic on Canvas – 11″ x 14″ I’m going to admit that most of what I paint is just ‘Okay.’  I like it well enough.  Some paintings I can’t stand to look at right after I paint them.  With others it takes some time and observation before deciding upon a negative rating.  However, as luck…

  • Marilyn Mon-Fish-Roe

    Oil on Canvas – 16″ x 20″ Last night I went out to see “Cabin in the Woods” and it was a good time (good acting, story, effects, and, of course, comedic moments that were actually funny).  I’d highly recommend it. This has nothing to do with Miss MonFishRoe.  She’s alright.  Her dress was not…

  • Mona Lisa (As a Fish)

    Oil on Canvas – 16″ x 20″ My latest deadline for 10 paintings has been bumped back.  I won’t be able to finish ten of them by this Saturday.  Luckily, there won’t be any issues if I’m only able to produce 5 or 6 by then. Here’s Mona Lisa…as a fish.  I’m thinking a worm…

  • Fish Tree

    Oil on Canvas – 16″ x 20″ I’m hoping the oil paint will dry by the time it needs to travel to its destination.  I haven’t worked with oil since it has been too cold to keep the windows open and the exhaust fan blowing.   Now that the weather has changed, well, as you…

  • Fish on a Bicycle in a Tree

      Acrylic on Canvas – 16″ x 20″ My most recent painting now complete and almost ready to replace the ones I sold.  If this sounds like bragging, well, it might be (just a little bit), and after having a nice brag-fest, I’m always struck with the feeling that my next painting or work will…

  • Hot, Hot, Hot

    SOLD: Sexy Legs Acrylic on Canvas 8″ x 6″ I’ve been attempting to produce 10 paintings by Friday.  This personal challenge began yesterday due to a sudden show invite (special thanks to KD Mernin with the NAC and the Mt. Airy Art Garage). At this time, I have 4 more to go, then hope to get…
