At last, a new painting

After several months focusing on other areas of my life, I have finally taken some time to paint. This is an inspirational painting that I have named The Fisherman.

It represents the image of Saint Peter with the netting of his former trade draped around him. His facial expression shows a combination of sadness at our weakness, as well as an understanding of our human nature.

Finally Finished

Here is the finished version of the Mardi Gras painting. I have changed the title to Mardi Gras 2006 to be consistant with Mardi Gras 2005. I will be exhibiting this and other paintings at Art in the Park in Galveston, TX on March 4, 2006. I hope that it will be a nice day with a good turnout.

Work in Progress

This is a work in progress for my 2006 Mardi Gras painting. I am planning on calling it New Orleans Reborn in honor of the great work being done to bring New Orleans back from the Katrina disaster. I have another couple of weeks work on it, and will post the finished version later.
