26 Nov These guys
You might remember these guys. I went on to paint a much bigger one showing all of the bench they're on. I still have to go back in and do detail on the crows on that one, and I'm hesitating because I liked how it went so...

23 Nov Brush again
Like it? Last January I painted the one down below there but I've been looking at it recently and thinking it was missing something. A theme lately. My paintings all get nervous and worried when I line them up and start looking them over. Who's...
21 Nov Pomegranate pink
I always have to stop and think: pomegranate or persimmon?I love them both. This one is a pomegranate. It's big and bright and fun. Third time I've painted this one, actually. First quite small, then bigger, and now 24"x24". Every time I'm at my art...

12 Nov So orange!
Can't imagine what inspired me to paint the background that colour.(Yes, I painted my boots again, bigger this time. Can't help it. They're my current fun security blanket and also...
11 Nov Characters
I'm having a bit of a run in the new painting space. I'm juggling four or five big paintings, moving them on and off the easel as inspiration for how to tackle each one comes and goes. Unfortunately none are done, but I think this...
