"Redhead in Green"


8"x 6" oil on canvas

This was actually yesterday's painting, just didn't have time to post it last night. It's loosely based on a photo of me. Really, only the hair is close. I have red(ish) hair and that probably explains why I like to paint so many red heads. Whatever color, I think it's hard to paint hair without making it look lumpy.

"Dance of the Dog"


6"x8" oil on canvas, SOLD

Once again Nellie, the studio dog, finds her way into my painting. Normally, she watches me paint for hours, but some days she's impatient. She tries the "stare-down" technique and if that doesn't get my attention she'll take a running jump at the backs of my legs. This one started out as a dogless painting but she nudged her way in and I have to admit, she was right.
