A FAMILY HEIRLOOM
























A daily painting! Hot damn. Angst-ridden, consumed with doubt, the old voice in fine form I watched the Jeff Hein DVD whilst working and pushed on. Not a great photo, but it'll do. See what happens when you don't work on a daily basis, or a daily painting in this case. Atrophy of the art fingers and expiration of one's artistic license.

It's so funny, working on the dogs I put myself through the usual nonsense but it's not at all like working on a daily. Seems I need to amp up the output.

This is not whining. I swear.

  2. If this is what comes out when you're out of shape, I cannot wait to see what glorious things are coming when you get your daily painting licks back in full swing. Wow!

  10. Behind on checking up on what my fellow artists are up to. Hmm. I don't see where you have a reason to complain. If up to me you can keep that artistic lisence and if for some reason you threw it away in a moment of frustration. I can sell you one. Hee Hee!Love that last post with that great expression. Great work Suzanne

  15. What does that person really mean above Cecilia's comment/ I can't read his writing!!
    Seriously, i don't think kids of today understand those Easters of yore! You are right, they were so awesome, and in the cold northeast a real transition into Spring! I loved those new patten leather shoes and anklets, and all the pastel clothing. I don't think I have worn a hat since those years. Did you get a chinese jumprope and silly putty in your basket? The good old days!!
    This is a great depiction of that time, love the look on his face! Beautiful job!
