"Success?" 5" x 7" graphite
(click here to bid)
Notice the question mark in the title? The title is actually a question. What is your definition of success? Is it having "things" like shown in this drawing, or something else?
ENJOY!

"Cut In Two" 8" x 10" graphite and colored pencil
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
In this drawing you can see the scissors on the paper appear to have cut the 2 in two. This drawing was done using graphite pencils ranging from 8B thru 2H. I also used colored pencils for the blue lines on the paper and red on the card. ENJOY!

"Bucket of Balls" 5" x 7" graphite and colored pencil
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
In this drawing you can see a drawing of a bucket with some balls. The bucket is pouring out the balls and as one "leaves" the paper it appears to be real. This one is done with a combination of graphite and colored pencils. Graphite was used for the background, paper(except for the lines) and the drawing on the paper. Colored pencils were used for the tape, blue lines on the paper, and the red ball. ENJOY!

"Jester" 5" x 7" graphite
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
This one was a lot of fun to do(except having to sharpen the pencil about every two seconds to do the fine lines on the jokers head). If you look close you can see that "Jester" has lost one of his bell thingys from his hat and it's "falling" off the card towards the bottom of the drawing. I've included an image with the drawing framed. It's being auctioned with the frame included.
ENJOY!

"Love Note" 5" x 7" oil
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
This painting was inspired by something that I do for my wife every now and again. I make up several(5-10) little sayings or drawings(like the one in this painting) and put them around the house where I know she will most likely see them. I usually get up earlier than she does so I have time to do it. They may show up on the bathroom mirror, in the refrigerator, in one of the cabinets so she sees it when she's getting dishes to enjoy a breakfast, or maybe on the dashboard of the car. This surprises her and get's her day off to a great start. ENJOY!

"Yellow Roses" 4" x 4" acrylic
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
This one is a departure from my normal realistic style. This one actually started from a sketch I did with a drawing app on my ipod touch. I liked the way it looked so I decided to paint it. I was wanting to explore color and mood with this one more than the realistic style. I like the way it turned out. ENJOY!

"A Little Hope" 4" x 4" oil
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
This one was really fun to do. There's a lot going on in this little 4" x 4" painting. Notice the blocks in the background. You can only see two of the blocks, but when you look in the marble you see all of them and what it says. By the way, when you look at something through a clear marble and other glass objects it flips them up side down. ENJOY A Little Hope.
Thanks
