Gus's stuff is a collection of dog stuff. Gus' leash, the orange ball he loves to shred and the rope toy. The yellow leopard pj's belong to his cousin - Paco who is a Chihuahua who is always freezing and has to wear his pj's outside. He is hoping to relocate to a warmer climate.
Here is my buddy Gus. He is my faithful sidekick. He loves to hang out in the studio, go for walks and eat carrots. Today's painting is for Mr. Gus.
My daughter helped me organize my kitchen and now loose change goes into a nice ceramic pot instead of the junk drawer. This is another of my not so symmetrical pots from ceramic class. Oh well I love the black glaze.
Turnips - well I don't like to eat them and I don't think I like to paint them either. We lost all our snow last night so now we have this weird greenish grass outside.
This is how far I've gotten on the "Shadows" painting. I decided to stop working on the head and filled in the rest to bring everything up to the same intensity. I still have several places to work on, the thread holder "thingie" in the left front, the tapestry, the bottom half and top half of the mirror have only one coat. There should be a couple walking on the grass, a lantern hanging near the mirror, and a tree. If you want to see the original google John William Waterhouse Shawdows. I still don't have a good likeness for the Lady, but I'll get back to her.
This was fun but took a lot longer than expected. Still think I could work on it more , but I'm done for now. I've been using colored 12" x 12" scrapbooking paper for the background and table top colors. I like being able to choose a color to go with the objects I have chosen.
