MFAH Degas Exhibition
Degas, Degas, you have so much to teach me. Your paintings show me that you were a very brave man.
Fantastic show, ending soon at the MFAH downtown. Go see it if possible!
Here are a few paintings and closeups of paintings that greatly affected me. I'll elaborate on them later... right now my tongue ith tied until more coffee ith consumed.
Whoops... nude woman is above the hooves.
Ahhhhh.... most satisfying.

Ship at Sea
Just listed, my ever hopeful vessel. This ship will not sink! The second in my limited series of only two ocean going ship paintings, I connected it to its already purchased mate by naming it Well-Placed Hope II.

My Gamer
This photo of me holding my painting gives you a sense of scale. The dude has a definite presence!!
I painted my #gamer in all blacks on a bright gold background which shines through. The only color is in thin layers over the icons and the computer screen shining on his face. Because I laid the color in in glazes, the gold glows through, as a computer screen would do. I like!
For sale at colorcatstudios101.etsy.com. Pretty cool stuff!

Artist Hands
Missed with the fingernail polish. Well, maybe not. But it's interesting I chose flute over guitar and harp so I could have long nails. Then paint took over. I guess I'll always have artist hands. And that's okay with me.

Sold Commission of Ship
Here's a commission I painted for someone to give as a Christmas gift, so I can show it now.
This is a ship that will definitely NOT sink under that wave! The atmosphere reminds me of a Turner, and the subject perhaps Hokusai's Great Wave. Pretty much love this one.
I'll give you some closeups later of this awesome almost-abstract.
