Robin Williams is and always will be my favorite martian. I don't normally care one way or another when a celebrity passes away. However, Robin Williams made me laugh hard and often. I can honestly say I will miss him. This painting is pretty much for me. Call it closure or whatever you want. I chose green, because what color is more appropriate than green for my favorite martian? Some may not like the colors, but it really doesn't matter, because like I said, it's a painting for me. Just thought I'd share.

Big Sky is bad azz in his medium not my fave subject or piece of your work but I'm a fan and an owner of a lil bit of his stuff

Very nice Big Sky. I share your sentiments about Robin Williams, he was a master at making you laugh, he could make you laugh even when you didn't feel like laughing, you just couldn't help it.

Wow. None of my business really, but, your paintings seem of high enough quality to sell, Are you able to produce any income from your talent?

Troy, Once again, great work. Robin was both a comedic genius, and a very talented actor. But sadly like many great artists he was a tormented soul.

Yes I sell some work, but until I retire from teaching art full time, I just don't have the time to totally dedicate a lot of focus on my work. The good news is that retirement is 5 or so years away.

MuskegMan, yup I know, but apparently the stupid auto-correct in my iPad disagreed. I didn't catch it until it was too late.
