HOW ABOUT A LITTLE MORE MUSICAL STUFF? [don't answer]

This next masterpiece of Mike's combines the an assortment of musical instruments and the people who play them, in a rather unique setting.

02-01 ON THE 8TH DAY, GOD CREATED MUSIC - This  is an acrylic on canvas painting having the dimensions of 24"x36".  Mike has used many of the figures in this painting as individualo figures in his 4"x8"water color plaques.

WE EXHIBIT & SELL MOST OF OUR WORK IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA:

It's a lot of fun to sell our work on week ends at Fisherman's Wharf, near the cable car turn around at Beach and Hyde Street, when the weather is nice.  At the end of the day, its also great to return home. 

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS! IT MIGHT BE SOMEONE'S VICTORIAN HOUSE.

San francisco and the bay area has many houses constructed during the Victorian Era.  The next picture is what Mike thinks one should look like:

 03-03 HOMECOMING DAY

In order to create the texture he wanted, Mike mixed the paints and varnish with sand to give the picture a texture it would not otherwise have.  The picture was given this title because of the ghost going up the stairs toward the front doors. Stick around, a few more pictures and you will be done with this page. I bet you thought it would never happen!
