how to massage a cake
Originally a vertical painting (bottom right, last painted in October 2009), turning it on its side (bottom left) for a change.
How it ended up today:

figurative to abstract
Oil on canvas 10 x 8 inches. Mostly oil on camvas, a bit of Sharpie marks toward bottom.
On the left is the after with oil impasto totally abstract and on the right before it got painted over. Figurative, much easier to latch on to. At least I have a picture of the piece before it became abstract. I can see why abstracts have a much smaller audience.

are we there yet?
After some more touch-ups this may be it for this painting, at least for today
Lower left-- after about an hour or so of painting, all covered except for face of standing figure and eyes of figure on the left... Like the texture, the oil impasto, but doesn't quite jell as the original does. May have another go at it... cover the whole thing?

dog afternoon
Repainting one of 4 small sketches from a 2009 live model session. Wanted to keep the dog, figures and Sharpie pen doodles... just to see what happens. Here's the after:

sitter
My first painting since installing my show at Blackfish over a week ago. Oil on canvas, 10x8 inches. What I like about small paintings is they don’t take much space and can be hung just about anywhere. And they can be painted fast. For now, call this 'Sitter'.
How it looked before I painted it today. It was a quick oil sketch done at a live model session last year.
