An all-image post for my friends I haven't seen in a long time.

First, the little urchin in my studio- he's a pretty good studio mate.

I made this painting with Phin on my lap. He's a good muse.

These are the drawings I did right after I saw crows eating baby robins.

My last oil painting before Phin was born. It was his favorite as an infant- he still likes yellow. It's a good size- about a 4 1/2 feet- maybe 5.

Take care all- and go see this show if you're in Chicago: http://lindawarrengallery.com/
