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.

Zola, oil on board, 6 x 6


This is a quick and gummy painting of our Brittany Spaniel, Zola, who has since moved on to the great backyard in the sky where I can only hope that no one minds that he barks incessantly. He was such a beautiful dog. # I did this painting as quickly and painterly as I could, I've been bogged down in detail a lot lately and it's not for me. I prefer the somewhat ambiguous mark making rather than recording every detail as a court reporter might. I prefer that the audience members be able to fill in the blanks with their own life experience.
