THE BOXER


16x20"
oil on canvas
NFS

This is the painting I'll be donating to "The Art of Rescue," for boxers in a week or two. I wanted to post it unfinished because I'm never satisfied that it's better when it's done. I'm going through an "unfinished" phase, meaning, I'm more aware of wanting to bring a drawing quality into the paintings and not "finish" or complete every single square inch of it. We'll see.

I'm itching to paint more bugs but I'm on deadline for a few things and won't be able to for a couple of days. Probably will draw more however as that's a great time while sitting, mouth agape in front of the idiot box.

wow, he's lovely, I expect he'll make a fortune for the charity. Well done you for being so generous.

I really like the "unfinished" look. Painterly.

How adorable is this! What a superb gift for your cause.

Yes, when you get a chance, scratch that "itch" for your bugs.

Suzanne, he is beautiful and I can almost feel his velvety soft nose, especially because of the pinks. This is an awesome painting to donate for a good cause.
