It's Quarter to Three…there’s no one in the place, except you and me. My aye aye is channeling Frank Sinatra here-I hope he feels better soon. He is available from Calvaria Gallery.
Why Don't You Do Right …like some other men do? Get out of here, and get me some money too. My ring-tailed lemur was in a Peggy Lee kind of mood when she posed for this one. This little painting is available from Calvaria Gallery
Owl's Obsession - painted for “Mini Masterpieces” at Revolution Gallery in Buffalo, NY. We know that owls do adore mice, but this one has taken his love to a different level. Available
Possum's Oranges - painted for “Mini Masterpieces” at Revolution Gallery in Buffalo, NY. This painting is based a dream that someone told me about. Poor little guy just wants a treat. SOLD

Durer's Cat This is Gus Gus. I first met Gus Gus back in New Orleans. I had moved back there after Katrina, and I was having a bit of a rough time of it. One day, as I was hanging around in my apartment , I could have sworn that I heard a faint, insistent mewing coming from my porch. Gus Gus was there, staring at me through the glass of my French door and talking up a storm. I’m allergic to cats, but Gus Gus won me over with his dreamsicle good looks and his charming manner. I let him in and he hung around for a bit, but then he wanted to leave and I reluctantly let him go. He was back the next day, this time pawing at the glass panes and again, mewing up a storm. This went on almost daily. I found out that Gus Gus lived with a bunch of cats-including 2 brothers- just about a block away from me. He was well taken care of, but still insisted on coming to visit . Sometimes he would bring one of his brothers with him. One time he brought a lady friend. I was always glad to see him. I looked forward to his visits and found that his presence cheered me up-a lot.Gus Gus went over the rainbow bridge years ago. I like to think that wherever he is, there are no constraints on time or space, leaving him free to drop in whenever he wants on whomever he wants . I picture him soothing Einstein, or amusing the Gershwins, or, in this case, inspiring one of my favorite artists, Albrecht Durer, by being the excellent, cheering company that he was when I knew him. Durer’s Cat is available as part of the “Cats” show at Cactus Gallery
Cock of the Walk SOLD
Shy Shoebill is available
African Wild Dog SOLD this little fellow is descended from wolves-just like the dogs we love-but he cannot interbreed with dogs or with wolves and he cannot be tamed. I painted him for the Ho’olaule’a group show at Cactus Gallery L.A. , which was all about endangered critters-like our friend here. Prints are available.
The Parrot this Mexican Red Headed fellow has found a home.
Mystic Raven SOLD Odin’s friend. He sees all. Prints are available.
Fishes for Puffin SOLD I saw a show about puffins. They fly far distances to get fish to take back to their nests and half the time, seagulls steal their fish away-in mid flight! Prints are available.
