Dozer sketch

Dozer is a Newfoundland. (An especially cute one, actually!) He has a great smile, which will fill this 48″ x 36″ canvas. This isn’t the best quality picture, but it will be updated soon…

So, I haven’t been painting, lately. Gearing up for Somerville Open Studios, I was so happy to have finally gotten into the groove of painting all of the time. Almost every night, I would make a pot of tea, turn on the lamp at my easel, and throw some paint on the canvas. A monthContinue reading “the fireground”

Silly Cece in Sepia

Oops. I did finish this a while ago – just never posted it!

Silly Cece in Sepia

I wanted to finish one more painting for Somerville Open Studios last weekend, and figured I could use a different, messier approach with the paint, and – oh, just whip this up on Friday night.

As I wrote when I first started Blue, he is a big, mushy explosion of joy. While I was painting him, I was hoping that thatContinue reading “Mr. Blue, finito”

Blue, getting there…

In working from my subconscious (as I know we do), I find it interesting that Blue the Pit BullContinue reading “Blue, getting there…”

Blue Progression

I have so much still to do on this (the whole face and tongue!), so I think I’d best get painting rather than being on the interwebs…

Blue, started

Blue never fails to elicit a smile from me. Even when I’m having an annoying day, I get to Blue’s house and can hear the thumpthumpthump of his tail on the other side of the door, waiting for me to open it. Once I do, he explodes out of it, bouncing like rubber in fits ofContinue reading “Blue, started”
