Wallaby Practicing for the WNBA (Wallaby National Basketball Association)

Last weekend, a friend mentioned her trip to Australia and how she liked the wallabies. Wallabies! That inspired me to remember those gentle diminutives of kangaroos! This one is practicing for the WNBA which in this case is the Wallaby National Basketball Association. Hope you enjoy this one.

Thank you to all visitors to the “Local Artist Tent” of the Key Biscayne Art Festival, March 15, 16, 2014

Here are just four pictures from the event. On March 15th and 16th, I had the privilege of participating in the local artist tent for local Key Biscayne Artists. This was shared with three other talented artists of the area.

I would like to thank all of you who had a chance to stop by. And thank you to the organizer of the event, the Rotary Club of Key Biscayne.

Two South African (Penguin) Tourists Visit Crandon Beach

This morning, I brought one of my stuffed animal penguins to get an idea of how a penguin would look at the beach with the right lighting. Then it rained. Oh well. Such is the weather of Key Biscayne. This painting was done on a 16″ by 20″ gallery wrapped canvas.

Watch how this painting evolved on the Little Creations Evolving page.

Key Biscayne Library With Friends

Today, I walked over to the library and took photos of the friends who you see in this painting. The Key Biscayne Library is a lovely area that attracts lots of native species. This painting is made with watercolor and gouache on a gallery wrapped canvas.
