THE GLAD BAG


24 X 36"
Oil on canvas

I feel like I haven't been working simply because I've gotten used to posting on my blog and haven't been able to do so because I'm working on nude studies. This piece has been going on for the last year or so. I hate it, I like it, I loathe it, I love it, depending upon the day, my mood and whether or not it's raining in Pittsburgh. Anyway, I need a few more hours and it'll be done, but I thought I'd post anyway, just so I know—like the pink bunny beating that bass drum—I'm still going. The faces need work but it's coming along. I called it the Glad Bag because that honking great green mass of plastic, a little right of center, looks as though it's ready to swallow up everything and everybody.

  1. Wow, when I first saw this painting I thought it was a photograph!. I know how you feel about it, this happens to me too; I work for too long on something, get sick of it, feel like I want to burn it, put it away... But as someone who is seeing it for the first time with fresh eyes: it looks really good, don't stress about it! ;)
