As usual I’m doing some funky art for Christmas gifts.

JACKASS-TRONAUT BAM 2025 – Acrylic on canvas 16×20. Created per my son-in-law’s request as a Christmas gift. Hope he likes it.

My mother collects oddball portraits – quirky faces. I’ve given her one every Christmas for the past 5 years. This should fit right in with the others.
My wife, Patrice, was worried my Mom or her son, Joe, might see these before Christmas. Highly unlikely. As any art hobbyist knows, close friends and family lose interest. The novelty of having an active artist in the family loses its appeal as years pass. But for me, the fun is still there. I paint simply because I like the way it makes me feel. We all need more of that in our lives.
JOLLY HOLIDAYS to Everyone!
