Posing As Breakfast

This was 'a rectangle challenge' an exercise on Daily Paint Works. And, it is certainly one to be repeated many times. While I did bend some of geometry's rectangle rules, the exercise did encourage me to lay a stroke of paint on the canvas and leave it there. Actually, I am suprised it turned out to look like what it was supposed to! Maybe next time I will be able to stroke all rectangles.

Perfect Darby

Darby was one of our Thoroughbred mares.
She was the grand-daughter of our last triple crown winner, Affirmed.
She certainly had presence about her.

Inner Beauty

The subject of this piece is a reprise of the girl in Mind's Eye pictured a few below. 
I have softened her a bit in colour and expression. It was another fun project.
It is a mixed media on an 11 X 14 panel.

The Tao of Chi (huahua)

This was a fun illustration to create. 
It is a personification of a tiny, tiny, chocolate Chihuahua puppy that I currently have.
She has the determination to live against all odds it seems! 
It is mixed media on an 8x10 panel.

Mind's Eye

This severe lines in this oil painting give it a sort of baroque quality.
