Still working…yes, in case you missed it…this is a portrait. Somehow when I was planning this it didn’t seem as “busy” as it is when painting it. This may take a while. The canvas is sucking up paint like…well, cheap canvas!
It’s summer and I’m bound to remember it! I’m currently working on this portrait of Dresden. The bucket was his idea, as were the snow shoes. He’s a very independent kind a guy.
I was going to paint today – but my studio is sweltering. Hunkered down over my laptop I decided to check art jobs for leads on possible opportunities to show my work. Good idea. I ran across something called wake up screaming….oh! That’s me! They seem to be looking for art that includes some reference to the sun. Ah yes, I have painted the sun. When I painted the sun, I believe I was missing it – it was probably cold outside (and raining) – and, as I often do, found myself mourning the loss of my precious view of the sun dipping into the vast blue Pacific between Molokai and Lana’i.
