Description: With acrylics, I was inspired to paint this French boy with curly hair and his small dog from the famous painting of C. Bremont from the mid 1800’s. It is such a classic image of two chums, a boy with his dog in a lush garden scene. The background includes a vibrant sky with soft hues and a large black hat on the ground.
Description: This is my drawing of a parody of the classic painting “American Gothic” by Grant Wood.

Description: This is my acrylic painting of an astronaut teeing up his next shot from the moon. I used pearlescent acrylic paint for the shine on his space suit and some of the stars. I used black paper for the dark outer space and lunar craters. An astronaut stands on a barren moon surface, preparing to hit a golf ball with Earth visible in the background. The stars dot the dark sky, creating a serene space setting.
Description: This is my watercolor tribute to those who sacrificed in the battle at Iwo Jima and the wars to protect our freedoms.

The monochrome background contrasts sharply with the vibrant red, white, and blue of the flag.
Description: This is my acrylic painting of a beautiful woman in Paris at night. For the sky I was inspired to paint my interpretation of Van Gogh’s famous “Starry Night” painting. The Eiffel Tower shines brightly among the stars in the sky. The woman has a cute dog at her side in her purse. I used a magenta pearlescent paint for her dress and the bow on her dogs’ head. A woman in a pink outfit stands in front of the Eiffel Tower, set against a swirling night sky reminiscent of Van Gogh’s style. She holds a small dog and wears a large black hat adorned with pink details.
