Prickly Pear

Someone really should have warned me that the prickly pear has its name for a good reason.  I bought this one at a grocery store in Dubai called, ready for this... The Hyper Panda.  My right hand feels like it's been swimming in fiberglass.

Dubai Hotel Room Orange

We either learn to adapt to our surroundings or we don't paint as often as we'd like.

This 6" x 8" oil on linen panel painting of a peeled orange was done in my hotel room in Dubai on a layover.

Koi, After Cheng-Khee Chee

I saw a beautiful watercolor painting by Cheng-Khee Chee.  I decided to see if I could paint it in oil.

I'm in Dubai so I figured, what the hell.
