"Mopsy Twins"
oil on canvas - 6"x 8"
Appletree Hollow Series

Millie & Billie Roundbottom: The adopted twins of Fred & Anna Roundbottom.
Millie & Billie's parents had already passed away in a farming accident
when this photo was taken in 1893.
Fred & Anna, prominent residents in the community, were without children
so they were happy to accept the little ones.
They were very good parents who promoted the Santa tradition in their home.
This photo was titled " Millie & Billie waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve".

My question is this: If they are waiting for Santa, why didn't Fred & Anna
tell them that he wouldn't be coming down a chimney with a blazing fire?

THIS IS MY HOLIDAY GREETINGS TO ALL !!!
p.s. but don't have a fire in the fireplace on Christmas Eve!

I had a lot of fun doing this one; doing an "action" painting like Pollock, only in a very small scale.

Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an influential American painter and a major force in the abstract expressionist movement.

"Opposite Views"
art museum series
oil on canvas
8"x8"

Just had to do a museum piece with one of my favorite artists, Edward Hopper. I actually know these two guys and when I ran into them at the museum they posed for me. They were actually looking at a painting of a guy standing on the ledge of a tall building.
I also thought of naming this one "Missing the View", which seems to be the point.
