LAUNDRY DAY


24x36"
oil on canvas
NFS

This is my very first serious attempt at oil painting, way back in the day. Pre-himself even! I remember realizing that I could not approximate my reference without multiple applications of paint. It was like finding out there was no Santa. Very disappointing. Hey, I never claimed to be well balanced.

  3. This is an awesome painting, I love it! But I really have to talk about Daz Man! I am so, so sorry to hear about his little accident. I am a recent Pug convert, I have 3 big mutts, and my son and his girlfriend got a Pug last spring. That dog has the BIGGEST personality of any dog I know. And those faces, DaZ Man is precious! I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery for the little guy, he will do fine!! Hope you sell a ton of paintings to pay for his operation!!

  7. very well done, Suzanne. Really liked your last several posts. You just are just not doing a bad painting.
    Sorry to hear about Raz. Been there myself with a poodle cross once who went from my studio deck on 2nd floor onto roof and fell over doing the hip thing.
    What am I talking about? I am recovering from nearly the same thing. Today, I have gone to one crutch. Not real comfortable but am doing it. They ought to be impressed at Rehab tomorrow.
