i miss taco tuesday

snapped a quick pic this morning before work.

i remember back in california there was

a common known phenomena that every

tuesday was two for one

TACO TUESDAY.

i think someone's hungry......

flores chiquitas

started these flowers last night. i've had the background for a while but have been waiting to paint the right imagery on it. i like the organic movement and didn't want to do anything that would obstruct or lose the quality too much. i decided to go small and concentrated, so far.

orchids

pic from last nights session.

sketch

sketched in some orchids on a dark blueish gray background with a white pencil.

i wondered if i reversed the image in photoshop it would

turn out like a graphite drawing?

the results: yup.

the reason: just because

the outcome: neato

over the weekend

1. finished up the two Gonolek's

2. some composition studies with acrylic on paper.

3. red winged blackbird for a trade with a friend.

chop chop

chopping away.

fragmented

started this last night. there are times where i want to leave some of the painting really broken up and undone like this. i tend to either not allow myself or forget during the process. maybe someday...

learn to draw

this is too good!

crave

a silver-eared mesia i finished last night.

16x20 acrylic on canvas

babble

added an Australian Brown Babbler.

i sort of finagled my own coloring on the bird.

i sometimes wonder why i post so many images of works in progress.

i don't have an answer.

on the easel right now.
