Blue Ears

This is my entry for the Daily Paint Works "Polka Dot" Challenge submitted by Carol Marine, (a wonderful artist). I made up the background to meet the criteria. I think patterns are fun and this maybe somewhat of a new direction. At least it was fun to try anyway. This is a 6x6, acrylic on cradled wood panel. SOLD

Charlie

Charlie is my latest completion. He is a 5x5 acrylic on canvas. He was ordered as a gift. I always hope that people getting these little paintings, or any of my paintings for that matter, like them. There is nothing as vulnerable as being an artist. The subjective world can be cruel and complimentary. Next week, I will be participating in an artist panel discussion at the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts in Tracy, CA. I have never done something like this before. I hate public speaking, I am scared but I think I need to learn how to talk about my art and art in general. Wish me luck!

Commissions

I completed 2 commissions over the weekend and I was still able to get in a figure class and see my husband's family on Easter. Both of these 5x5 acrylics are done for people who have recently lost them. I am hoping it will bring the owners a smile.

Charlie

Just finished Charlie this weekend. I have had an increase in pet portrait requests lately and I am definitely not complaining! Charlie is a 5x5 acrylic on canvas.
