Weekend Paintings – still life’s haunting me

But the painting I wanted to do, didn’t happen yet. Here’s what I painted this weekend (see Two More Still Lifes over at www.artnewyorkcity.com) – and yes, the Self Portrait I did last week looks really good. Have to be careful not to copy other titles to posts that I’ve done already – I was [...]
