On the first Thursday of the month Billy Brauer's life drawing evening consists of short poses for 2 hours.  So Billy joked as I did 10 small studies from 2 min long to 15 min long, "Candy not only does a painting a day, she does a painting every 15 minutes."  Very funny

Happy New Year

 5 x 7 inches Oil on linen on board

$99. + S/H $10

Back painting in Arizona for the winter.

Due to computer difficulties with storing photos, it's been over a year of getting it straightened out, so I can post paintings again.  The short version is size matters...and I don't mean my brain.
 Seems like having all my photos on external HD was the way to go, with a new computer....and I must say, I still have the consolidation of folders, albums and what not to organize.

So accessing my past is still rather convoluted.
Let's see if I can at least post new work with regularity,
and thanks for those of you returning, or to new viewers!

Michael's father loved to watch the fights, and I grew up watching wrestling
with my sitter who knew everyone, and would cheer mightily.
 I respect the conditioning and focus it takes to be a fighter,
but question my judgement about watching men hit each other for entertainment.
