I completed last week's painting of my dog, MacGregor. Finished pieces are the best! There's a real sense of accomplishment and active momentum which I love.
I also love how the painting came out, and I'm thinking about entering it in a student show next month. Showing work (or even submitting work to be considered for show) is a great way to make sure finished pieces are 1) actually finished and readied to frame, and 2) don't sit on the shelf, forgotten and forlorn.
Painting feels a bit like an itch that no amount of scratching will take care of. When I'm on a roll, I have almost an addictive need to keep painting, to be working on something. So what's in the queue? I'm trying my hand at another animal piece, a very pleasant-looking sheep I met last year at a local farm. Stay tuned!
