WHAT WAS I THINKING?

This piece took me around 7 days to complete.  It actually took me a month but it sounds better if I say it only took me 5 days (I mean 7 days) to finish.  What it is, I don't really know and why I did it, that too I cannot answer with certainty.  I just know that for some strange reason I had to draw a 3 dimmensional hand coming out of a picture to paint a picture.


I did this piece last year for my father for Christmas.  It's supposed to be a bear but for some reason he looks more like a racoon to me.  At first I didn't like it, but the purple grew on me.

First, let me just say I am not an artist and don't pretend to be an artist.  I simply do these carvings and paintings because my little brain sends synaptic messages through my fingers and forces me to pick up a carving knife or a paint brush.  If it were up to me, I would pick up a good glass of scotch and a lint brush but as I already said, my brain forces me to do things and I think it's trying to control me.  These are just a few of the pieces....
