This painting is of the wonderful Greta Garbo in the silent film ‘Torrent’ from 1926. Don’t you just love the black and white striped fur coat? So art deco! It is kind of a sad tale, giving Garbo lots of reason to lift those heavy lidded eyes to the heavens. This still is of the final shot in the film.
This painting is available on ebay

This is a new 24″x24″ mixed media painting on wood of the silent film star Zasu Pitts from the movie ‘Greed’.
I took this image with Chris’ iphone. I have always wanted to paint stills off of the TV but until now have never been happy with the results. This was such a great still, such a powerful image. I just had to paint it.
I will admit, I had no idea who this woman was or what movie the still was from while I was painting. Perhaps this is a good thing. I think if I had know, I would have used a darker palette. I was able to paint without any prejudice.
Comments are always appreciated.
A limited edition art reproduction is available of this painting.
Original SOLD

Everyone said that she was rambunctious as a child.
Even so, no one expected her to grow up to be a sword swallower.
This is a mixed media ACEO on paper.

This is an original 8″x10″ mixed media painting on paper covered canvas.
I did an ACEO of this same image a few days ago. I am just loving this new character and colour palette! Music is very much a part of our house. The girls just love to give Chris and I a concert. They both love applause. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Not me, Chris. I can’t play a note.
This painting is SOLD.
