                              6x6; Bid on This Painting

Wow! I can't believe I last posted over  month ago! I think that's the longest "dry spell" since I started this blog. We were in Arizona and I did do some painting there, but my improvised studio is not as compelling as my studio here in Seattle. The biggest reason, however, is that I have access to an AWESOME clay studio, and I was busy making totems and tiles. I made tiles for our bathroom backsplashes, and then barely finished the kitchen splash tiles before we left. I did a mosaic over the stove, and I'm pretty happy with it; all it needs is grout....

So....the first painting upon returning is my submission to the DPW Challenge. I like figurative, so this was a good one to start me off. I also did some revisions to the larger pieces I painted in Arizona. I'm working on ideas for more larger paintings, but hope to get back to doing frequent (if not daily) smaller paintings. It's good to be back!

  1. I was talking and distracted while I typed that comment, what I meant to say is that I really like this painting and think the hat is really an attention grabber and a great focal point.
