I'm painting too. I finished a 6 ft tall undersea oil painting and a 3 ft deep space picture of the ferris wheel nebula with planets passing through the center. I finished a 4ft painting of a rose with a lady bug seeking refuge from a thunder storm. THe raindrops on the petals show a lightning flash. I finished an ink on enamel of Leonard Bernstein conducting his very last concert. In oil pastel I finished passion flowers in the morning. It is done on cardboard given to me by a homeless man in DC right off of his card board shelter. I am nearly finshed with a painting of the centerfield seats below the big TV scoreboard at Fenway with Babe Ruth, Ted Williams and others in the stands.

I started a spring time oil that has a seedling a kitten a puppy a baby, daffodils and a blooming cherry tree.

I also started a portrait that can be seen both front and back at the same time by painting on glass with a linear parabolic mirror behind it. The first one I did with the mirror trick was of a 3 1/2 ft tall humming bird.



I am starting water lillies painted on a mylar canvas I created from a windshild cover that reflects ripples in the water with great intesity.

I am planning a picture of me playing cello with my 1 year supporting himself with both his hands on the lower part of the cello.

I also planned round glass paintings that show coy and gold fish just below the water. These fit nicely on black round tables.
I am thinking of a loosely conceived project titled "The human body: A user's manual" that will show humorous but factual illustrations of our senses, our organs, our muscular skeletel system and lastly the mind.

I dropped the music project of Earth's religions since I don't seem to have that talent color in my box. Its outlined but orchestration is too daunting.
