Zoe's Micron

                                                                        8x10 oil

           I saw a picture of "Micron" Zoe's dog on the web. He is laying on his pillow in the sun. It made me laugh and so i had to paint him.

                                                                           12x16 oil

                  Working from a Sorrolla. It came out well for me. That basket (canasta) thingy wasn't to well defined in the ref. but I think the face it where you want to look.

                        I worked on this for 2 hours. I started to lose control, so this is where I stopped. That eye to the left is in the darkness and I messed it up at the end today.

              Image from Googles street view. This is for the Virtual paint out blog. You just use google's street view of the location of the month, Canary Islands, and if you see something good paint it. Now I have to see if i can do all the email with links and info to go through the first time. Yeah, fingers crossed on this one.

Saturday painting

                                                                     12x12 oil

              I worked on this for 3 hrs. and still couldn't quite get those eyes to turn upwards. I'll just say she's in a daze, thinking "I hope he gets my eyes right".
