Day 8 of the 30 in 30 - Blue Roof

Life never stops, even if you have to paint a painting every day..... So, after helping to hang the new gallery show this morning and going to finalize plans on an upcoming solo exhibition I am having, I had just over 1 hour to complete a painting before having to get my son from the bus and take my daughter to work!  But, I got it done....
Today's image was found on Morguefile, the royalty free image site.  I was struck by the rich contrasts and strange colors.  I am including the original image here so you can see how sometimes I push the colors to be more of my liking. This one is very fauve, in my opinion!

Thanks for looking!

New paintings of dogs

English Bulldog, acrylic on canvas, 24" x 18", 2012

Dogs, up close and personal.  These were done within the past month or so, first as an exercise in underpainting, turning into an interesting study of dog portraiture.  Dogs in a muted, primary color scheme, texture, perspective and in your face.  Cute enough to pinch.

Dauschaund pup, acrylic on canvas, 24" x 18", 2012

Jack the mutt, acrylic on canvas, 24" x 18", 2012

There will be more dogs to come... I promise!
