Boy's Night Out

 

Original 11 X 14 Acrylic painting:
Fun and Games, possibly looking for more than there is and settling for less than is available. Perhaps we look in the wrong places, try to get there with the wrong people and bring with the wrong attitude.

Morning Break, Down at the Dairy



Acrylic painting on Gallery wrap canvas 11 X 14 inches.

How hard and how long we work for short breaks. How beautiful everything is around us if only we see it. The toy cow in this painting, works at a dairy, where else would a cow work. But we have choices, we can choose our destiny,but it is rare that we do.

Trick Pony

 


Acrylic on canvas 12 X 12 inches.This painting is of a diecast metal toy bank, It's called "Trick Pony" because it's a real trick to be able to save money in our economy. Add to this the irony of actually putting money into a horse. That's a form of gambling that rarely pays off.

Super Hero's


New Painting 16 X 12 acrylic on canvas. Depicts a toy robot and picture of Captain America taped to the wall.Super Hero's are figments of our imagination. It would be nice to believe that there are people around with super powers ready to save us as soon as we get into trouble. However we know that there are no such heros, or are there. Possibly we are all super heros with the power to save ourselves by applying ourselves to our problems and not giving up until we are where we want to be in life.

O' What a Horse

O' What a Horse 10 X 8 painted in acrylic on canvas..We all search for ways to be in the spotlight often by showing off, which puts us at risk. The biggest risk is to be embarrassed. I would rather often be embarrassed than spend my life never stepping out of my comfort zone. We all can fly but not while we hold on.
