I am back after a sort of "hiatus". Actually, I spent over a week working on a single painting - a landscape - that I still need to tweak just a bit. It is a huge canvas - somewhere in the neighborhood of 3' x 5.5'. Also, I had to set up a new, larger easel. This was a hassle since no instructions were included in the box. Geez, I would have settled for Spanish instructions...or even Japanese... if they had only included pictures. But, I think that the three of us (me, Mom, and Lucy the Boxer), ultimately got it assembled. The good news is that we only had 3 extra parts left over, not counting the 2 extra screws.

I am not ready to post the "big picture" yet, but for the last several days I have been working on a 24" x 30" canvas of 2 very colorful horses. This photo is not primo - I think the actual paint colors are much sharper. Still, you get the overall basic design. I think that this is one of my favorite paintings because of the freedom of choice I used in selecting color and style. The result is more expressionist than the usual impressionistic approach that I generally take in painting. I hope you like it.
