LEGO Spiderman
6x6 Oil on panel, black floater frame.
The only thing you need to pretend to be Spiderman, is to be able to touch your palm with your middle finger. If you're really good, you can pretend-shoot a web from either hand. No gun, no lightsaber, not even a cape required. The downside, of course, was his lack of a cool car or flying vehicle. Spiderman is one of the all-time classic superheroes, still found on lunch-boxes and t-shirts to this day. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to google “Spiderman underwear for men.” I’m sure my husband will thank me.
Spiderman, Spiderman ... Does whatever a spider can...
*My apologies for getting that song stuck in your head.
Is he strong? Listen, Bud!
He's got radioactive blood.
Sorry! Really, very sorry.
About my LEGO Minifigure Series
Building large scale LEGO sets seems to be extremely popular, during quarantine. I guess putting together complicated LEGO sets is a great way to take your mind off a global pandemic. And murder hornets. And a contentious election with a divided country. And … pass me the red LEGO brick, please. :-/
Sometimes, LEGO’s are simply an escape when the sky is falling. And so is art.

You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry? You mean, "who wouldn’t like me when I’m angry!" I’m adorable when I’m angry! Just ask my husband.
(Pardon me for just a moment, I need to give my husband "The Look”.)
I used to love the 1970s TV show, "The Incredible Hulk", starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. (Bill Bixby was also great in "My Favorite Martian", and "The Courtship of Eddie’s Father").
So, do you prefer Bill Bixby or Mark Ruffalo as Dr. David Banner? And if you say Edward Norton, I'm breaking up with you right now.

Batmobile
6x6 Oil on panel, black floater frame.
This painting is of the Batmobile from the original 1966 TV series. (I think I saw every re-run of this show as a kid.) To my mind, this Batmobile is the best Batmobile. I’ll have none of your tank-like, spaceship-looking nonsense from later Batman films. Just give me the original groovy Batmobile from the 60’s designed by the guy who also brought us, the Munsters’ coach, and the classic Beverly Hillbillies’ hooptie. I like my Batmobiles, like I like my TV shows. Campy.
Who was the best batman: Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, or Adam West? Trick question. The answer is always Adam West.
About my Hallmark Ornaments Series
This oil painting was done from a Hallmark Christmas ornament. My entire Christmas tree is cartoon ornaments. I’m not immature, YOU’RE immature.
Mach 5
Sold out
6x6 Oil on panel, black floater frame.
The Mach 5 was my husband's first car crush. He tells me that as a kid, he used to know the function for every single button on the steering wheel. I don't remember watching "Speed Racer" with that much attention, though it did make me want a chimp for a pet.
I switched my palette up a little for this painting (and for the Batmobile). I swapped out my usual burnt umber to the more neutral and earthy raw umber. Mainly because my husband is a raw umber kind of guy, and as it turns out, this is his favorite painting from my 25 Days of Minis.
