Compare this image with my last posting, and you'll see some VERY important changes, but those changes might not even be noticeable at first glance. That's the beauty of the artist's eye--the subtleties that we are aware of because of our training, years of comparing and contrasting what we want versus what is already on that flat surface. The changes just HAD to be done. I still think this one should have gotten into the Art Show at the Dog Show, but when they are "show" people, perhaps they ahve a different outlook on dogs in general. My paintings of the shelter cast offs didn't receive merit there, however YOUR response to that series made my day. So art shows are one good venue for exposure, but ought not be the end-all-be-all for measuring one's artistic competence.
I'm going to share with you the source material for the second painting (the acrylic) that's in the new DVD coming out "Misty Light and Overcast Days" in the Colorful Painting Series. Since this one has acrylic paint on it, too, I have had to drop the "Oil" out of the title! It is a composite (roughly assembled in Photoshop) of a 100% wolf that belongs to an acquaintance. Three images of the same wolf makes for an interesting composition, and you can bet I'll be adding to and changing it for good "painterly" execution. It's going to be on a 16 x 20 linen canvas.You can see my entire blog HERE.
