quick sketch

Some art night offerings.

OPen Session painting.

TUG

a little Saturday painting.

Painted at the Oregon Coast for 3 days.. I don't much like painting in the wind but I didn't have a choice. I went there thinking it would kick me in the mood to do some outdoor painting when i get back to Seattle. Here's what I produced on my little trip.

Older one.

a little wonky on the legs among other things

Progress So I've been working on this painting Fire head fatty. And I wasn't sure if I was done with it or not so I hung it on my living room wall thinking that would help me decide if it's finished. Today I busted out the paints on it, so no it's not done. It's so close, at least I'd like to think. But this seem to be the most trying part, finishing it. Trying not to over work it but still have all the things in it to call it good and done. close up teaser shot

Spirit

this piece was an experiment for me. Was trying some new things mentally and not get so caught up in how I was taught to paint. Instead I played and tried stuff. Nothing earth shattering just subtle things in paint handling.

Costume Was playing around with costume design ideas.

REDHEADS

Something about painting redheads

A Weed,....MAn.

I did this a few years back when I took a sick from work. I wasn't really sick, just sick of work.

Some older stuff. I liked this one because of the brush work. I painted over an old painting so I had that surface to deal with .Plus it was on a hard board and those things tend to pronounce the stokes enless your one to lick your stokes all smooth. And no, the model wasn't stoned she was sleepy.

Thought I'd start with some tiny thumbs of a bigger painting I'm working on that is close to being finished.

My Friend Karin told me she'd beat me up if i didn't start blogging so in spirit of not getting beaten up I thought this fairly recent portrait -3 months old- was fitting.
