This is  Kashmir...and she sure knows how to pose for a portrait!I tried to lay the paint on extra thick in an attempt for spontaneous color blends.
Thought I was done, but when it was photographed and I saw it on the monitor, I had to do some touch ups....several times.

This was made from a photo of a beautiful dog named Legend who was loyally awaiting the return of his master. Legend simply touched my heart. Someone is very lucky to be owned by a dog like this!

This is oil on a 7x5 hardboard. This is about 95% painting knife. I liked seeing the paint do its thing.

 I decided to do the bull and make him a little more menacing than he appears in the photo. It's always fun to try and paint the temperament of a subject.

This is oil on a 7x5 hardboard. After sketching the bull with a Sharpie, I toned the panel with thinned Alizarin Crimson acrylic.
The high value colors were applied with both a painting knife and loaded brush.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The very talented Kay was the gracious hostess who supplied all the reference photos.

The one little odd-ball chick caught my attention. Was it proud to stand out...or trying to blend in?? Great interactions between the three.

 The board was lightly toned with alizarin crimson acrylic paint.
The oil paint was applied running the full gamut as far as thickness goes. From ultra thin wash which allows some drawing and toning to show....to laid on thickly via painting knife (on the odd-ball).

C&C welcome. Thanks for checking it out!

This pony made me think of the millions of kids who have wished for a pony for Christmas.

Father, Forgive Them

Oil on 5x7 gessoed hardboard.

I still feel a bit down with my back/COPD. I had a painting underway for today, but couldn't complete it on time. So, here's one I originally posted in 2009.

I started this painting without much pre planning. Each element was added as a separate, last minute, after-thought ...the light halo glow...the crown of thorns...the stream of blood... the cross against the foreboding sky.

Almost as if it painted itself, as they say. Psssst... Between you and me, I believe that sometimes He takes a hand in it. He paints it...I just hold the brush. I call it PUI..."painting under the influence".

I wish you all a happy and blessed Easter. Please remember the true meaning. Keep love and hope alive in your hearts.....The best is yet to come.

Spring Has Sprung-Floral Landscape

Don't pay the ransom Honey, I escaped! Lol!
Sorry...It feels as though I haven' posted in a looooong time. I have been down in plenty of pain since the 14th. I bent over and sneezed and pulled a muscle in my back...intense pain!
That in turn affected the muscles involved with my breathing. All that complicated my COPD. But I'm finally coming back with Ibuprofen.  
I had a painting started from last week....I'll finish it sometime later.

Thanks for the great pics, Susan!

Statue Admirer-Pigeon

 Standard acrylic on 7x5 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Oty was the gracious hostess.

 Although these birds are scorned as a pest, I can't help but to admire the feather markings and shiny iridescent heads of pigeons. They are really a beautiful bird.

This is standard acrylic on 7x5 canvas panel. Basically the same process as the previous two weeks. Many layers of thinned acrylic over textured gesso.
I added a touch of black pen and colored pencil just to "kick up" a few spots.

Evolution-American Crocodile

 Close ups

Acrylic on 5x7 hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Li was the gracious hostess.

 I chose this sunning American Crocodile.

This is standard acrylic on hardboard. I was happy with last week's painting, so I tried this one in the same manner. Black and gray gesso loosely blended with a painting knife...leaving the knife marks and a marbled gesso.Then I applied thinned acrylic of different colors in random patches. Did the drawing, then painted with many thin layers. I also used a Pitt Pen sparingly for emphasis in select areas. I tried to inject more color than the dull gray hide that was pictured.

I thought of how the croc has evolved and has been around for millions of years. I was thinking this as I watched the painting evolve under the brush.
Hope you like it.

Youthful Magic-Child Figurative

Acrylic on 7x5 hardboard.

 This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Sharron was the gracious hostess.

I loved the youthful magic of Julia in the warming sun.
This is plain acrylics on a 7x5 hardboard.
I first prepared the surface with greyed gesso applied with a painting knife in order to get a knife painting texture. Then, I used the acrylics thinly in many layers. I accented selected contours with Pitt Pens.
This approach is all new to me, so that fact just added to the fun! I'm pleased with the outcome.
