Ellie - Oil- 18x18

Been awhile since I've posted.  I've been painting lots of "presents" that I don't want to post until the person has had a chance to deliver the painting.  So at some point I'll have lots to post.

The other project I've been working on is a portrait of a good friend who passed away a year and 1/2 ago.  The onus of "getting it right" is a little overwhelming.  So overwhelming that I've started two paintings.  I have felt his presence with me though the whole time-- cheering me on and trying to get me to lighten up.  Hopefully I got the message!  Thanks Tim!

Been working on people lately more so than puppies. It a mixed bag -- I love it but I also feel so inept sometimes.  So many directions to go -- looking for a looser style - but wanting to maintain each person's essence.  I like this study -- not complete ---it's from life.  I'm finding that I have so much more energy and spark when I'm working from life.  There are so many more colors and nuances that I don't see in photos.  TO Life!!
