Roses and Fruit

I worked on this painting on and off for a while. I consider flowers (especially roses) one of the most difficult subjects to paint, and this wasn't the exception. These were the roses I initially planned to have at my wedding. But since that didn't happen, when I saw them at the supermarket I couldn't help myself and brought them to my studio. The lemons remind me of Italy and the green apple is one of my favorite fruits...

Wrestlemania!!!

These pictures are from the Wrestlemania Premiere Party in Star Island (March 29th). I was chosen as one of the live artists for the event. We had to complete a painting in two hours, which was then auctioned off to raise money for the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
It was sooo nice!!!!
I hope you enjoy...
