I also have  a number of painting series going on.

Please click on the painting thumbnails to see larger images.

Here are two more playful paintings completed as float decorations for Hot Springs Christmas Parade. Done with acrylic on a plastic sheet (the kind used to winterize windows).
Christmas Tree, Santa and Reindeer. 4x8 ft	Polar Bear Band. 4x8 ft.
I got a number of new models this year and they will probably get into the Santa paintings. On the left hand picture in my arm, Sidekick and sitting on the box on the left (in green vest) is Farley. Sitting next to me is Ollie and the bear on the other box is Boris. The little polar bear is Hotei (named for the Japanese god of happiness). The little moose on the box next to Boris is Tundra. Hotei appeared in "Santa and Hotei" and Tundra was in "Festival."
