Barley, continued...

Barley, continued...

With all the metal, this painting is going to require a lot of glazing and color enhancement as the project goes on...and I have to finish it and another painting in less than two weeks!

Barley, the Budweiser Dalmation

Barley
oil on linen
20x16-inches

It's my first shot at painting on linen. So far it's about the same as canvas except smoother which is always something I love! The Clydesdales were in Anderson, SC a few months ago and this is a painting of Barley atop the Budweiser carriage. This will go in the Pet Project Exhibition with the painting of "Tiger", opening July 24, 2009 at 7:00pm. A lot of work ahead...





Little Blue Button

Little Blue Button
oil on canvas
not quite 5x5-inches




I had just a little bit of wood left after making a canvas, so I just put it together....and this is what came about! I have a class jar I put buttons in. I was sitting in my studio, trying to decide what to do with it and I was like, why not just go through my jar of buttons, and well, I found a PERFECT "Little Blue Button"!
