  1. I think I like this one best of the works of his you've posted. For some reason I immediately thought of Bob Marley. Trying to think why I made that connection.

  3. Little bit of a ferocious mom. Freudians would have a field day.

  5. that is so weird...............I just posted Bob Marley and then changed my mind and deleted it and posted Leon Russell instead. Have had Bob Marley in my head all day.

  6. I think this one is my favourite, white animals are the hardest to paint ( I think) and I love the expression on the sows face, its almost human and shows a great deal of care toward her babies.
