This doggie portrait is done! I finished it today. Isn’t she a cutie!?!

This one is pretty much done. I say pretty much done because I feel like I still need to take a closer look at the older boy. But their mom loves it, so I’m in good shape. I was a little worried about how thick and rough this one was getting. It has a lotContinue reading “Brothers and Cezanne”

When the painting was looking too clean and perfect, I scraped it all off. I’m going to let it dryContinue reading “Untitled #1”

I’ve been working away at this little doggie. I need to let it dry now and then come back in with a brighter white in places. And I’m still working out the rug. I’m general, I pretty much love this one.
