Charlie acrylic on Masonite 10"x10"
I started a painting I will be entering in a local art exhibition in a month or so. It took me some time to really think about what it is I wanted to spend time painting. The canvas is 18"x24" and I have gessoed it with black. Last night I started sketching on the basic shapes and will complete that this evening. I have some vague ideas about how I will approach this work but it is like I always told my students, a leap of faith. You simply start and see where it leads. It is a journey, as the metaphor goes.
I included a painting I did of a dog named Charlie. He is a rescue dog from a friend of mine that works in an animal rescue center in Ankeny, Iowa.
