Some faces just wanted to be painted. Like Montana Al, the subject of this mixed media painting. Why Montana? Why not?

Maybe he's looking the wide open prairies of eastern Montana, or the mountain vistas in the Bitterroot range. His western garb speaks to a more relaxed era in our history and he looks like he's enjoying himself. Who wouldn't want to meet him?

This mixed media painting of a woman makes you wonder what she's thinking about.

From Denise:
"Elongated necks, large eyes and prominent brushstrokes were hallmarks of Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani, who served as one of my inspirations for this painting of a woman deep in thought. is she pondering her past or imaging her future?"
