Spoon in Water

18"x24"

Can you believe it?.. this new piece is not a toy! I went back to reflections and distortions in this painting of a spoon in a glass of water.

Eleven Bravo

10"x12"
_
_
Another toy soldier painting. "Eleven Bravo" is the Army's designation for a standard infantry soldier. These little plastic toys are based on really old soldiers, like around the WWII era. This particular one seems to be holding a M1 Garand rifle. Along with his buddy(previous painting) tossing pineapple grenades, they are using really outdated weaponry.

Chunkin 'Nades







10"x12"
_
_
Yet another toy painting. This little plastic soldier is a deviation from the previous toy paintings, void of the cuteness factor.

Blue Sheep


10"x12"
_
_
Another modified toy portrait from the farm set.
I thought this color scheme was appropriate since 2008 marks the 50th anniversary of the Smurfs, who were first introduced in Belgium, 1958.

Orange C Horse

10"x12"
_
_
Another small toy painting. This little plastic, wheeled horse is not part of the farm set, but I thought it would be fun to paint anyway..I was right! Once again, eyes have been "upgraded".

Spotted Cow


10"x12"

Another take on one of the small toy animals from my son's farm set. Like the pink pig, I gave spotted cow some enhanced peepers.

Pink Pig

10"x12"
_
_
One of my son's toys. This little plastic pig goes to a toy farm set. He's only a year old, so he really didn't miss it while it was in my studio being painted. The actual toy has little black, beady eyes...I decided to give it more "appropriate" eyes.
