After I painted the frog, it seemed as though he was looking intently at something. The painting didn't seem completed.  What better to capture a frog's attention than a big, fat, juicy fly.

"Big Tree by the River" watercolor on 140# Arches CP paper, 5x7.

For a while I was in a slump with my acrylics. Every painting started out well, and somewhere between "good enough" and "overkill" the painting would die. After having this happen to several paintings in a row, I decided to take a break from acrylics and do some watercolors. This turned out a good strategy, as it gave me a chance to break free, have some fun, and relax into the painting.

Backyard Fantasy Grisaille underpainting

"Back Yard Fantasy" 8x8 acrylics on wood.

This is another of Daily Paintworks challenges: the view out your window. There is a big, beautiful pecan tree in our back yard and plenty of squirrels & cats, so that part of the picture is accurate. The rest, well, who's to say what else someone might see in their yard besides ordinary reality?

This is an underpainting done in violet oxide and will be glazed over in various colors. Hooker's green for sure, maybe also magenta and transparent yellow oxide. We'll see.
