Totems
Getting ready to show two new paintings (one barely finished), at my open studio this weekend. I just started this series so it's a bit scary to show them but I am really interested in hearing what people think of them.
I am going to call them totems since they feel like figures. I was struck by how much this dog reminded me of a Rembrandt-era white collar.
The one below (colors look awful here) also reminds me of another classical subject. Guess which one.
Since these works are large, there are more areas where I can just play. While painting the newest one (no photo yet), I did less blending and painted the whole thing with a small brush. This makes it feel like a large drawing. I also got carried away testing it on the 3d glasses. It doesn't look 3d but it looks cool.

I love this picture. It is very clever. The picture does look like a person. It is very surreal. Amazing picture.
Thanks Shelley. It's so rare to get comments from non-spammers. I checked out your blog and like how you work with other painters on one painting with great results.
