Here's the finished painting

Okay, so here's a photo taken by my dear friend, Linda (thanks, Linda!) at the actual show. Since the previous post, I added more detail to the dog, more detail to the mini-Dutch landscapes, as well as shiny paint all about. Now it really looks like the trainwreck I had envisioned. A non-matching painting. I did a big one like this once (maybe I'll post it in a bit) which was named, "Monstrosity, or, Putting on Makeup in the Car". Same idea. Just me basically barfing lovely bits onto the canvas (or panel) and saying," Eew - that was gross, yet still kind of lovely." Why inflict this sort of thing upon myself and others? Maybe the answer will come out in therapy. Anyhoo... have a great day!

A few changes

Hello three people that I actually let see this blog...
There have been a couple of changes to the dog painting below, so come to the Meltdown show on Saturday to see the finished piece.

I call this one, "Happy Dog Presides Over Many Horizons. I don't know which dog painting to put in the dog show coming up at Gallery Meltdown. I rather enjoy putting awkward things into my paintings usually, but frankly, I think both of these pushed a little too far on the awkward, so that I now want to go back and make them more pleasing. But, outa time, just about. Sigh...

Okay. Here's a painting I call, "Poodlepuff". Or maybe I should call it "Droodle". (I crack myself up). I wonder if this will make it into the art show. Hmmm...
