SENTRY, oil on canvas, 30 x 30

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!

THE RUSSELL HOUSE, 30 X 30, oil on canvas by Georgia Nagle

Yup, a pup.

KID AND ROOSTER, 30 X 30, oil on canvas by Georgia Nagle

Here's another large abstracted one. This is so freeing. I used to only paint abstract work, all made up in my head. Then I took a plein air class and took to painting outside and looking at everything - painting what I saw. That transition is easy. Going back to abstracted work after being away so long is actually harder. But like riding a bike it is all coming back to me.

Chicken Dreams, oil on paper, 10 x 10

Ok, this one is different, but as I say, I get kinda restless at times. It is very liberating to doodle on a painting. I really like this one - it has so much to say.

"Sun Shower" , oil on paper, 14 x 15

This type work comes out of getting tired of painting the green, green southeast. So I invented some scenery and colors just to break out of the mold.
