I have two different monitors attached to my computer. and my paintings look different on each one. One seems to be more true to my painting than the other, so I'm going with that one.

It appears I have done these two girl figures separately anyway.

No Boots - SOLD

5x5 oil and collage on board

SOLD

This little painting was a lot of work for me. At first I was going to do separate paintings of the figures, then I decided I liked the disconnection of the three figures. I actually like it a lot and plan to do a larger version, but may do separate paintings of the two girls anyway for practice.

I wanted this painting to be less calculated and to have more fun with it. I'm still using my limited palette, and instead of feeling limited by it, I am enjoying it.

My House

...and this is my new front door. Isn't she a beaut! I have been neglecting my paints and canvas (or boards) for a short spell. I drove from Fort Myers to Boston in two days - wouldn't recommend it. Grueling. Closed on my house 2 days later in Rockport Me. Cleaning it out. Scraping, scrubbing, painting. I plan to have my gallery in the barn ready to go by early summer, and eventually my studio in the barn as well. :)

I have been in Ft. Myers, but will be heading north to Rockport, ME to close on a new old house. Consequently, I have not been in my studio and have a limited supply of paint resources. This painting was done in 3 colors plus Titanium white - phalo blue, cad yellow and Indian red.

There is thought behind where I place the paper, but sometimes it works out better than I planned. For instance, the pattern on her left arm flows down her sleeve. :)

Comment to comment: This broad probably was trouble. It is was a b&w mugshot. She had the most amazing features. Her hair was all wild like Medusa. I bet she was quite beautiful. I think she was wearing a maternity top.

I am heading to Florida here a few weeks to do a few shows in the Naples/Ft. Myers area in February. I'm feeling the crunch. I have some beautiful frames 20x16, and I couldn't let them go to waste. This image had already been worked out in a smaller version. I felt it only right (given the circumstances) to do "Pink Wig" for one of those frames. Today I will start another under the same circumstances. :)

I read somewhere that in order to be productive and get things of importance done, you have to get done first the most unsavory of tasks. You can't keep putting that one off. In other words "eat the frog". This painting was my frog. As much as I wanted to start another painting I had to eat this frog first, and I'm glad I did.
