Wandering

Here's a newer piece of a guy seeming to not have a care in the world as he wanders around in the swamp. This piece is loosely based on an old friend and some of my own treks into a nearby marsh. This is a water based paint on paper by Michael Quirk dated 2018.

It's been a while since I posted here. This is a recent sketch done on a magazine cover dated October 2015. Does anyone know which magazine? As always, click on the image to enlarge.

Green Apples and Leaves

This is a recent painting of some green apples and leaves that came from a tree in the backyard. In spite of the lack of rain, this was the best apple yield in five years for this tree. Once the squirrels figured it all out, the apples were doomed.

Animals in Your Kingdom

I got "My Crows" painting (below) into the "Animals in Your Kingdom" exhibition at the Micro Museum, located in the downtown Brooklyn, NY arts district. The show runs from June 7 - July 19 and the opening reception is Saturday, May 31, 7 - 10pm - www.micromuseum.com. After dropping off my painting, I went down to the Promenade and took some photos of lower Manhattan. It's a nice area, but it's a Hell Ride to get there from CT. Click photo for larger image.

Found Gold!

There's a good reason to take your dog for a walk on a cold winters day - aside from the fact that Joxer loves to get out and sniff around and pee everywhere. We went for another walk down by the Housatonic river and I found a gold coin. You just never know what's gonna wash up along the shore. Lot's of plastic bottles, a dolls head, all different types of balls, driftwood, etc... Then out of the corner of your eye, there it is, something sparkles in the weak winter sun. You pick it up, and sure enough, it's plastic. I did find a real gold coin once in downtown Bridgeport.
