"TCB" by Brian K Raynor


"Look out man!"
33 years have gone by since the King of Rock n Roll dropped dead at the age of 42. Even in death Elvis is Taking Care of Business. Sunday evening a crowd estimated at 15,000 defied a 118-degree heat index to memorialize at the gates of Graceland for the annual candlelight vigil that finishes the 2010 Elvis Week festivities. Even in our bad economy the number of attendees has not dropped.
I painted "TCB" in 2008 and sold it to a vixen from Atlanta at the Rockabilly BBQ in Charlotte, NC. I think she bought it for resale.

"War Horse" by Brian K. Raynor

https://www.artsy.net/artist/franz-marc

I painted "War Horse" a few years ago. Nothing to really say about it nor do I remember why I painted it. I probably just wanted to paint a horse. Perhaps I thought someone who "loves all things horse" would just have to buy it. No such luck. I have always admired the horses by German Expressionist Franz Marc.
