Acrylic on Canvas
10" x 8"
$400

This puffer fish was completed a few days ago. It will be hanging in my annual student exhibit at Crossroads Art Center in Richmond, Va, opening November 20, 2015 along with about a dozen other fishies. 

Each of the past 4 years we've had a group topic for students to explore, which we display on one wall of the show. This year we chose fish, which gave us numerous options within a common theme. 

If you are available, I invite you to come see what my incredibly talented students have been up to this past year. Yes I'm bragging on them. Believe me, they keep me humble. 
In the Caboose Gallery, the exhibit is on display until 
January 4, 2016. 

More Tiny Little Sea Paintings (in process)

Back in the spring, I blogged about taking time for me. 

I'll get to Part II of that shortly.

In the meantime, here are more Tiny Little Sea Paintings. 

These are not finished by any means, 

but I know some of you like to see art "in progress." 

These are either 5 x 7 or 6 x 6, on 3/4" deep canvas.

available $65

A departure from my usual animal paintings, these small - 8 x 10 and 5x7 canvases - are in progress. Or maybe they are finished, I can't quite decide yet. 

Acrylic paint over Micaceous Iron Oxide as a base with some Coarse Alumina (both are Golden Paints products) sprinkled in for larger textural effects. I really love how the toothiness of the iron oxide allows the paint to blend under the surface. 

These two images show progress on the same painting. 

"Monterey Splash" early stages
