coyote

Acrylic done on canvas pad approx. 12 x 12. We have many coyotes who are getting pretty hungry this time of year. I love to hear them and watch them in the field across the road but when they just stand there, next to our fence, looking, longingly at my chickens I know I need to rethink letting the chickens roam. Everything here is dry, yellow, burnt umber, burnt sienna and hot. Acrylics just dry SO fast and the brush sticks to the canvas as you drag it across if not enough paint is on.

2 birds

While in Monterey I was struck how these beautiful black cowbirds seem to dance together as they move from area to area. This is a 16 x 20 acrylic.

contempory lion

Acrylic 16 x 20. Just expressing how hot it is and not much to do but lay around and take it.

Forgotten lemons

This is the daily painting I couldn't load last week. Then got frustrated over my computer ills. As seen, this 14 x 18 is definitely not animal. But it was fun to do. It is acrylic.

Frig art

Yesterday I painted these 8 images for an up and coming show. It's a heavy traffic show but things are slow for everyone so I figured I'd paint on these clear photo magnets. We'll see what happens. It seems that folks are also looking for some small art that they can just afford. My thought is to paint something that might lead into something else. My alley cats lead into a really big project. I know daily painting is just that but I've been doing lots of preliminary sketch work for the interior murals.

Lemons

Umm, error messages says errors with internal uploading. I'll try back later. One painting today and working on request for murals in a large building.

Comic con

Unfortunately 2 items I sold at Comic Con I did not photograph. One cartoon (vulture) and one 9 x 12, acrylic (contemporary fish), unframed painting. Lots of very interesting art work. 125,000 attendees. The art show is held upstairs and artwork always sells. Fascinating event. Already planning on next year. Delivered 6 paintings to the St Clair Gallery invitational show on Fri. Show opens Aug. 5 through Sept 19. The Freisian horse was just the most spectacular and kindest horse. Need to get busy.
