Dog-In-The-Field Style Painting

Back in 2007 I was able to visit my sister Heather in Surrey, England. They have wonderful open areas dedicated to walking be it humans or animals. Daily I would go with my sister and her Black Labrador, Becks, for long treks through these heaths. I was able to get some good reference photos and I'm finally getting around to working on a painting based on these. The drawing that I've come up with is shown above. I'm going to try to approach the piece in a more "painterly" way. We'll see how this works out.

National Juried Show Up

Well, my painting "Jazzy-Mood Indigo" is down in Florida and on display at The Visual Arts Center's 7th Biennial National Art Exhibition. I was unable to fly down to attend the opening, but according to event coordinator Michele Valencourt, "... it's the best National we've ever had". If you happen to be in the Punta Gorda area and want to see some excellent artwork, check it out and let me know what you think. The show runs until March 12th.
