Good Boy No 1
Oil pastel portraits of boys on 65 lb drawing paper
When I grow up I want to be a little boy.

This is going to be a very short series of only 5 paintings. I don’t like the title of this series, and wish I could change it – for many reasons. The first one being – I don’t look at children as being “good” or “bad”. Never have, never will.
About 10 or 12 years ago, I titled one of my boy portrait paintings “Good Boy”. One of these new portraits reminded me of that one, and that’s where the series title came from. Once I had time to think about it, I knew it wasn’t going to work for me.

SOLD!
Unfortunately, I’ve already signed, titled, and dated the backs of these paintings. I can’t change them now, so I’m stopping here at 5. I need to come up with a better title before I continue.
I hope you have a lovely creative week ahead.

Playing in theaters now! See my artwork in a new movie – The Whale starring Brendan Fraser.
I’ve been busy slashing prices in my eBay store and on Etsy. Some artwork I have marked down to only $10 or $15. I’m trying to clear out older paintings, so I have room for the new ones.
As always, if you want to say hello or have any questions you can write me here. I love getting email, and hearing from you.
Other places to find me online.
