FANTASY WORLD

I am an artist. This means I live in a perverse fantasy world with unrealistic expectations. Thank you for understanding.

Mixed Media
A portrait I did for a friend's wedding anniversary. I am pretty poor at painting people. I had put down an under-painting of red which I couldn't get rid of. I call the painting 'Back From the Tanning Salon'.

HOT IN BIG BEAR

It has been unusually hot here the last few days. Getting on the lake helps cool off.
