Two small roses (1/8 sheet). The one on the bottom, oddly enough, is based on a mushroom cloud.

Weekend

Old doodle. Boris Yeltsin singing Karaoke. I'd made a Stoli's bottle for him to hold but I've lost it. Happy weekend.

I worked out some of the problems I was having with the thumbnail. Happy with the pose now. Click on the Label if you want previous posts for this image.

Thumbnail

A thumbnail study for a large painting. Don't like this idea much yet. I'm not coming up with a good palette and I don't have the pose right yet. Looks like she's picking her nose in a hospital gown :-).

This is a full-sheet. That's art geek for big painting.

"how was your day"

Every day I pick Josh up from work. I ask him how his day was. His days involve clients, networking emergencies, business contracts, co-workers, business meetings, office politics. Its all very entertaining, from a distance. Then he asks me how my day was. I sit in a chair...with some paper...riveting. After years of this I figured out how to answer. At the end of the day I've been photographing what I did that day. Josh asks, "how was your day?" I pass over the camera. Josh thought it would make a neat blog. So, this is just a diary. I don't paint start to finish on any one picture. We're going to try to link posts so that its easy to see how any specific painting is going.
