Waxy Days of Winter

 It's winter in San Diego so it's something like 60 degrees outside right now. The tree outside my studio door is doing this...

 So awesome. 

So anyway, after a long break from painting (a sick kid and a holiday will do that to you) I'm itching to get back in the studio. Today I busied myself getting Christmas projects in order, prepping wood boards for painting and finishing up this big tropical commission.

Also I am putting together a fun "how to" post for artsy Christmas gift lovers, which will be followed by a nice little giveaway.

And while I'm at it, here are a few more photos of recent work:
