Bestiole Amie (SOLD)

About This Painting:
The smart continental calls them Bestiole Amie. Thats french for lady bug.   I painted this in a workshop demo. One of the ladies brought the photo from her garden. Immediately after explaining the fatal error of putting the focal point in the middle of the canvas, I did exactly that. To lessen that feel, I used a technique I am fumbling with.  I intentionally blur or soften a  balance of  the edges. Check out Karin Jurick's people. Thanks Karin. I blurred enough of the bug to bring the focal point to the face in the lower middle. Still not the best solution, but it doesn't, you know, "...bug me, my wee mouton".

My town with a little drop of posion

This is a painting of the beachroad. I have had it around for a  quite a while and I ocassionally  add bits of color. This is what it looks like now.  We paint our sand fences pink, or at least I do.  I took the reference photo for this late one warm summer afternoon in the coldest dead of winter.

I am enjoying this new subject matter. More of the charter fishing fleet docked in Pirates Cove Marina. World Class Billfishing every summer. Off shore fishing is always an adventure, and just seeing the gulf stream is worth the trip. 35 miles to the gulf stream.

Stupid Dog

I tried to give this guy a "pastey skinned sunburned slack muscled" look. I was going for a look of contempt in both figures. I added the dog. Odd, painting the dog took all of 1 minute, and then I stood back and smiled. Oil on linen 14"X14"
