one of my newest works. i don't use the color black very often and wanted to paint something quite the opposite of the watercolors that i've been working on lately, though both have flowers.

2 pink fleurs

landscape and upside down flowers painted in a frame made for lang graphics calendars. painted just the other day.

and in related news, my great cataloging project is winding down. about 99% of the paintings i have here are photographed and put in numerical order on my flickr page. i still have to get some photos from works that friends and family have and print out copies for my non-digital photo albums. this is huge! i've been working on this project for years!

and i'm creeping towards that next big milestone of 1000 paintings - i just finished number 836 this morning...

enjoy.

robot and bunnies

robot and bunnies, originally uploaded by marcofrey.

several years ago, one of our local bookstores held a robot themed fundraiser to save them from closing. i painted this for their silent auction. naturally, robots and bunnies go hand in hand. and those bunnies have shown up in several paintings, sketches and even a t-shirt!
enjoy.

here's one of my favorite paintings of a dried flower. it is currently hanging in the living room. i painted it several years ago i think from a sketch i did of a flower that eula had. though it's very possible i did the sketch from the painting...
enjoy.
