"Julian Looking For The Train"

24x36  |  $2,500
Oil on canvas  |  2014

"This is the artist's step-son Julian at the Botanic Garden of Chicago. They had a toy train exhibit among the plants and Julian was waiting for one to come around the corner. This painting literally took an entire year to complete. After finishing the under-painting, the artist had a stroke and was not able to complete it for a year."

""Maddy Triptych"

3 @ 10" x 8" |  NFS
