Roughing in flesh tones.

The Promise & The Locked Gate

The Promise & The Locked Gate - I’m posting one of my favorite paintings again on the heels of Father’s Day as this was my father’s favorite painting and rightly so.  My father passed away some time ago.  The Promise and the Locked Gate - that darn locked gate!!!  This message meant a lot to my dad.  Of course we all want to climb the stairs and bask in the warmth of the sunshine at the top of the steps, of course.  But all of us have a gate – a locked gate to get through.  I love when people either find the key or say, what the hell, I’ll just jump the gate – I’M CLIMBING!  My dad had trouble figuring out how to get past that locked gate on some difficult issues in his life.  I just wanted to share this painting/message one more time in case some of my friends are wondering how to unlock the gate in front of them – you know me, I say JUMP IT!  CLIMB, that climb will be so fun and a few BandAids can mend any scratch from the jump!

The World Is Mine!

Life is so good!  Prepping for my next painting - my subject is so adorable!
