Still on the easel....

Day 1 of painting.

Day 2 of painting.

As you can see, I have made some progress on this painting. Day 1 was alot of fun, until I realized that I was not able to see any details in the face with the reference photo. Marilyn mailed me a larger photo, and I was able to see what the hands and face were really like. I have a few more details to finish on the hat, and lots of work on the face and skin tones. I want to get the spark of personality Uncle Orville had and put in on the canvas.

I need to work on my cupcake painting, get ready for the Dutch Art Gallery Show, and do a commission piece. But, as we all know, we only paint what we are "in the mood" to paint....

On the easel...

I had a very productive day at the studio yesterday...it actually went into the evening. I finished up eleven abstracts, and need to put some finishing touches on some other paintings. This is one of them. These two sheep have been in the studio for a couple of months. I don't think that I have the eyes finished. I need to name the sheep, and the painting. If you have any suggestions, please write to me. This is a 20" x 20" gallery wrap canvas...ready to hang as soon as I hit the eyes with some detail.
