New Paintings

So I'm not much of a painter, but the other day I finished reading Object of Beauty by Steve Martin, and felt inspired to break out the oils.
I blew the dust off my old paintbox and fished out my favorite painting tool, the pallet knife (cant get the hang of painting with a paintbrush), and made these three little guys.
On a side note, I also just saw a play written by Steven Martin, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, which I really liked and recommend.

My favorite painter is definitely Morandi, and I'm not hiding it.
