A Puppy!

I just about finished this new pet portrait. I havn't drawn an animal in a long time and I think I was going through withdrawals or something because once I started working on this I pretty much didn't stop until it was done.

The CCAD art sale is in two weeks, be there or be square!

Something New

I think the painting release extravaganza has had a very good run, but I think its time for a mini break. I've painted just about every day for the past two or three weeks, except for my sweet trip back to ohio a few days ago of course, and the colored pencils have been beckoning me back. Last night I started a new pet portrait,and there is talk of starting to work on my children's book again, so new things are on the horizon. In the meantime here is a still life of some marbles that I have since lost.

So today I thought I'd show what these wee paintings look like in their frames. So here is what they are going to look like in the sale and on etsy soon. They all either have a very light frame like this one, or its made from cherry, or red oak. I try an match the frame color and wood choice to match the painting.

I thought it was time to put up some of the bigger paintings I've done recently. Most of them I did with one of the mini's as a reference so this one may look a wee bit familiar. I've actually done a few now with this same color scheme, it's weird I usually don't like painting or drawing the same thing a bunch but this one and the one I'm going to post tomorrow are different. I've done three or four versions of the same thing and each time I think it's fun. They are all just subtly different but to me it feels like a lot.

New Paintings a plenty

Even though I havn't posted in a while, I have still been painting and keeping busy. I've mostly been doing the little landscape paintings, which I framed and put a little magnet on the back of so they can be fridge art. I'm going to post them all once a day for a little bit, so get ready for the new painting extravaganza to celebrate the start of march. This first painting is one of my favorites. It's 3" x 3" and its done in acrylics. Weee
