Oil on panel with collage.

I am having the luxury of painting time

and working into some panels on hand.

FRESH FISH

STARTED

this fisherman

with his custom-designed catch.

I think of different common names for each fish variety

as I paint. I will make the final details to match the fish type

and paint their names alongside. One is going to be a "Green Glove" for example.

The mottled background used up the end-of-the-day oil paint

for a medium value.

The darkest elements will be the original bold line drawing.

16 x 20 on smoooooth panel.

GLOSSY GUY

"GOOD KISSER"

10 X 10 Oil on Ampersand cradled panel.

A friend gave me the title.

Alkyd oils are great;

they dry faster but still lots of time

to push them around.

DOGGIES

"MY BUDDY"

LITTLE

oil on collage

for a little frame.

You can see the gloss of the alkyd oil paint.

'GRATIS'

'GRATIS'

Acrylic and oil on paper.

The acrylic background of monoprint

and brushwork.

The bowl, bird , fruit and lettering

in alkyd oils.

Sometimes a stencil is the quickest way to 

conjure and lay down a simple

strong shape. That's how I arrived at the

bird's shape.

'MAKE UP'

'MAKE UP'

is a little oil on rag board.

About 8 inches square.
