Where did the time go?

I can't believe it has been a year (actually a bit longer) since I last posted anything.  WOW - where did the time go?  To make a long story, short.  I have been painting.  I have not been blogging but I have been painting.

Today we celebrated the life of a good friend who suddenly passed away last week.  Death is always hard.  Knowing that someone is no longer physically with us is especially difficult.  I wanted to find a way to help his wife through these hard times and what else could I do but try and capture Steve in a painting.

This is an 11x14 oil of Steve

Here is another one I did this week.
