First layer of oil paint down on the new face. Detail and speckling/spattering (the fun stuff) will happen after this layer dries to the touch.

Here's one of my studio assistants putting together a brand-new HUSKY shop table for me to sculpt at. (How do you like my vintage, beat-up floor?) She took it very seriously and I didn't have to go back and tighten very many screws . . . what a trooper!

Just finished sculpting the clay master & building the silicone mold on Chuck Lindberg. A hard jacket mold comes next; waiting on materials to arrive. I intend to cast him in urethane resin the end of next week. One of 13 full size figures I am creating for the Minnesota Military & Veterans Museum.

Cheers from my brother-in-law’s home in southern Wisconsin - hence the Old Fashioned!

Me & my sculpting "assistant" in the studio. You can listen to me talk about this work in a new podcast at either of the links below. It's a great chat & I almost sound intelligent, for a Marine . . . Here: www.mnvetmuseum.org/podcasts?fbc... Or here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

It took us several months to pull off, but we finished our SPACE KIDS family movie, & you can watch it on YouTube. Note - comments are disabled because I don't want strangers leaving inappropriate remarks behind for my grandchildren. Click on the link below & enjoy! youtu.be/8P5iW9wA1GE?...

Another busy day here in the studio, preparing a painting to be used by the Gettysburg National Battlefield Park showing the 20th Maine Regiment on Little Round Top. I may have gotten a little dirty . . .

The artillery crew and gun are all plastic kits created by the Perry Brothers of England - I modified most of the crew so they can push the gun. Wish me luck as I try to paint it! The Union marching troops are from Old Glory. The topographic model (and "soldiers") was entirely scratch built.

I have been making reference models for my upcoming Gettysburg paintings. I love getting paid to be a 10 year-old child.

Huge mass shooting in Maine. Covid denying, Jan 6th embracing traitor for Speaker of the House. Another glorious day in America. I am glad my clock is winding down.

A blast from my past; 40 years ago. I was a starving artist - look at those hollow cheeks!

My dear wife, Pat, and I had a wonderful time yesterday at my nephew’s wedding. I officiated the ceremony, then relaxed for the rest of the night - aside from the dancing!

Throw back time - wherever did I put those goggles?

Great question - and I will find out in about a week! Nervous . . .

I am biased, but it is one of my favorite historical movies.

I saw it on TV on a Friday night during the summer of 1976. It changed my life. Seriously. It happened at the very time I was discovering Airfix HO scale soldiers and Britains Deetail painted figures.
