Snarling Dick

Powerful men can really screw things up. Two wars, a lapse in civil liberties, torture, eight years of pain and on and on and on. What a legacy. Here's a portrait of a real life villain and puppetmaster, Snarling Dick.

Heads Up

For the last three years or so I have been painting various heads - people I know, my own head, mugshots, political figures, and at least one pundit. It's not easy painting someone you can't stand to look at. Here's a painting of Ann Coulter. The piece is unfinished.

More New Work

Have had a productive Summer. I completed several new abstract pieces as well as a self portrait. Here's the final version of the self portrait I started in June. You can see the first draft before I had applied a series of oil glazes, at my June 13, 2009 post http://maliciousmonkey.blogspot.com/2009/06/self-portraits-can-be-fun.html

And an abstract that had vexed me but now is quite satisfying...

Still Life with Vase and Oranges, Acrylic and collage on linen.
