Releasing the hound...

"Buckshot Splatter"

(in progress)

18"x24" acrylic on canvas

$1800 US dollars plus shipping

I thought of a clever way of putting what I do with paint today. I'm releasing the hounds when I put brush to canvas, in the same way a sculpture releases her subject from the stone or clay.

More work to do tomorrow and the next day for the hound to be fully released.

Return to Buckshot

"Buckshot Splatter"

(in progress)

18"x24" acrylic on canvas

$1800 US dollars plus shipping

We returned home from our Airstream/mountain bike fueled adventures a week ago. I've spent time off and on with Buckshot since then, but this is the most significant progress worth posting.

The trip was great fun, but it's nice to be back in the studio for sure. I had brought a couple of canvases with to paint while on the trip, but I never found time in the day to make any artwork happen. I guess I was having to much fun.

Buckshot progress...

After taking my lunch break from Short Term Gallery yesterday, I was thinking I might need to make changes to the work I had done earlier in the morning. However, when I returned to the gallery I couldn't have been happier with the progress I'd made.

Then I went on to paint more, and this morning I'm just as happy as I was last night when I went home. Let's see what my brushes can do today.

Window installation...

"Form Strategic Partnerships"

(in progress)

18"x36" acrylic on canvas

$4500 US dollars plus shipping

Window work continued in ernest yesterday during Studio Tours. Got a lot done, and entertained a few Tour goers. Overall it was a nice weekend for Corrine and I.

I think that this painting is coming along better and faster than any I've done in this style in the past. I think that the previous city paintings I've done have prepared me both mentally and creatively. I don't want to rush it, but at the same time I'm getting work done without feeling bored.

Thanks to everyone that came through our studio this weekend, we'll see you next year in Oct. with all new art to display and share.

Studio Tours...

"Buckshot Splatter"

(in progress)

Today Open Studio Tours continue and we're open at the Dusty Dog Studio from 11-3 PM. Come by if you're in Baker City.

Here's the little progress I made on Buckshot. I spent about 15 minutes painting his form for Oregon Art Beat on Monday, a will probably work a little on him during Studio Tours today too.

Yesterday we had a steady flow of people from about 12:30 on. I worked mostly on "Form Strategic Partnerships" and it's turning out great. I feel a little like a window contractor right now, because that's all I'm installing on the painting.

Hope to see you on the Tour.
