bottle, book, Heidi's purse

12x12" oil on reused panel. A still life of arty stuff I have collected, a wine bottle from a client, an old drawing book, a purse that belonged to my missing neice, Heidi. An exercise for a winter's night.

Artbyus Auction Venue

Everyone has heard of ebay but it has become so huge that individual artists work can be hard to find. It is also expensive to list items. I prefer Artbyus as a more art friendly location for both buyers and sellers. I have some paintings listed at artbyus with starting bids as low as $35.00!
