STICKY, (just about there), oil on canvas, 24 x 30


I am almost satisfied. Won't be in the studio much today so I will have to ponder this image for a day or so. Enjoy!

STICKY (in progress), 24 x 30, oil on canvas


Sometimes to appraise a painting I'm working on, I put it on the computer and crop out the studio in the background. That way I can focus on the work with out distraction. So...this painting has already changed from this look. Still playing with it. I hope to put another post up today.
BTW, one of my favorite jokes is...
What's brown and sticky?






A stick.

Sometimes silly is good.

LAND AND SEA, oil on canvas, 36 x 48






And the final piece....




This painting has had many reworks. They are here in order, representing the last 12 hours it was worked on. By showing these different stages, I run the risk of someone liking a previous stage but I have to say I am most happy with the final product.

KOOKABURRAS, oil on canvas, 24 x 48


Boy am I loving this direction. Does anyone remember learning the song in grade school "Kookaburra sits in the ol' gum tree, merry, merry king of the bush is he...."?
Anyway, I will be out of town for a week and only able to draw for that time. But I will return with lots of ideas for the studio.
Have a good week, everyone!
