Trying new things!

06/06/2008 19:34:50 / happy

I mostly paint in a "painterly" impressionistic way. I can paint super realistically, but I just don't dig it. So today, in line with my upcoming canine art show.. I decided to play around with Expressionism. (I hate labels..) So I decided to create an almost ABSTRACT piece. Its a real WORK IN PROGRESS, but it helped me get out of my own way so it was a fun exercise.

I have never painted this way before so this was very NEW to me.

Experimentation is scary but good for the soul.

Big, very old Yellow Lab. Very faithful and devoted to his human. On his nightly walk, he sits at the curb as instructed, but is distracted by something.. You see, he is almost blind. But it does not take away a thing from him, he is just all the more loyal and protective. Such a good boy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------& nbsp;
