I LOVED ...

I may use something similar on the dogs I am starting. The collector lives in CA and has several of my paintings and she reached out hoping for something contemporary with her babies.  I am still debating on the approach but know in my heart, when I start I will let go and let the paint flow.  I...

Not sure about what you answer to yourself here, but 95 percent of the time... I tend to be quiet and withdrawn.  Then there is that 5 percent where I cannot seem to stop talking. Usually that is where I am offering advice or a story that pertains to someone's question to me. I have learned as I aged, there is a time and a place to offer up information or advice. I know n...

Tolkien, The Hobbit Well I do like it this way!  A bit risky but more of what I am enjoying but still not where I want to wander entirely.  I love the light of the moon and the highlights in the piece. I love the ebb and flow of the paint and feel the strength in the painting itself.  It came a journey and I had to let go of the foundation sketch and let the paint go where it wanted to go. 1 Chroni...
