| "Against All Odds" 6x6" oil on canvas panel People always ask how I come up with the names for my paintings. Actually, I never know what I am going to title a painting. It's only after they are finished, photographed and ready to save an image file, that I even begin to think what an appropriate title might be. "Against All Odds" popped into my head as the nectarine in the painting seemed to represent the strength, will, determination and perseverance of the Japanese people standing up in the face of overpowering darkness. Against all odds their nation will heal. God bless the people of Japan. The sale of this painting is being donated to the Japanese Red Cross. Click here to place a bid.

"Caffeine Clout"

| "Caffeine Clout" 6x6" Oil on canvas panel |
Winner...and still champion...coffee-the-mug rises to the occasion in a take down...successfully pinning on the mat all three opponents (blood, sweat and tears) in grueling overtime.
I really wrestled with this one. My goal in painting is to jab a fully-loaded right brush in one flat stoke to the face of my canvas and then never touch it again. However with that said, this one got really fussy and put up quite a fight, so I applied a half nelson with an elbow-lock roll. I was relieved when that blue referee finally blew his whistle. It was an exhausting match.
