I haven't posted recently due to work and family obligations. Also, I've been sick. I'm getting back to doing portrait samples.

I've gone back for a while to doing portrait samples. I intend to do some pet portraits, too. This is a portrait of zydeco musician Rosie Ledet I've been working on. It has a ways to go yet...and I will update as I progress.

Once again, my work can be seen at Roxyart.com.

I'm too tired to post any artwork today, so here's a really bad joke:



A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van.

However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.

When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and still make such an obvious error, he replied,
"Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings.
I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh."

And now you're wondering how I had De Gaulle to send this on to someone else.

I figure I had nothing Toulouse......

If a in music there is such a thing as a ditty, then this is the equivalent in art. This is something I completed not too long ago, from an idea that has been incubating for a long time. There's something about the emptiness of a chair. It implies comfort to the viewer, perhaps, or it implies the absence of a person who's usually sitting in the chair.

I'm going to be going back to work on my picture of the Unisphere, hopefully sometime today.

Once again, you can see more of my work at roxyart.com.

It's been a while since I've posted. Making a living can certainly take away from an artist's time. I try to think of ways to earn a living doing artwork. It's not easy. I see a lot of cat art sells, so I've made an attempt at painting of one. It's in acrylic, a picture of my Maine Coon Mix. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back to serious artwork soon.
