My hope for this blog is that it will document my progression as an oil painter. While I have not studied art in a formal setting, I do study art on my own time. Each new painting is a study in color and technique, trial and error. Every second is a study in perspective.

'Cookie Face'
12" x 12" Oil on HD canvas
Name yer price!
This is what Sammy looks like when she wants a cookie - only a lot more colorful. I took my time, drew this one out and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The background gave me some trouble as I thought it would...I repainted it three different times. If you don't like it I can always paint over it.
I can paint your dog too -

I love it!!! I think you really captured her face. I can't tell if the background is too dark or not.. It looks good to me but I may need to see it in person or beside Porter's painting. Great Job!! I can't wait to hang them in my house. I'm so excited!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it. The background definitely looks darker in the photo than in person I can paint it lighter though if you want. At first it was solid turquoise, but I thought it was boring so I redid it, then I didn't like the way it looked when I redid it so I painted it again...Bottom line - it looks even better in person :)
ReplyDeleteit looks just like sammy!!
