Animal pals


I set out to paint a horse since I hadn't done one yet and the duck just kind of snuck in. I had a photo of a duck on my desk and I thought it would be a funny juxtaposition to add him to the scene. It's wacky, but I can't help smiling when I look at this one. Maybe it's because I am a sucker for those nature shows where the animals all get along!

Hey Mike!

Nice site. I didn't know about it till Craig told me. You have some nifty little portraits here. I'll be checking back from time to time with more thoughts but for now I'm just saying hi.

Hi Mike,

I really like your paintings! A bit brushy, and full of personality. Love the duck!

And yes, Nick J. told me about your blog too. :-D Got it bookmarked now, so I can come back. I'm over at
'Daub du Jour' - http://daubdujour.blogspot.com/

Cheers

You take commissions? If Jeannie sees this it's gonna be "How many banana breads for a portrait of my babies?"

I've been shying away from the commissions for fear of turning a fun thing into a work thing...but that is really good banana bread.........damn.
