Detail of a Painting from the Studio

Detail of the painting, "One More"

It measure 16″x20″, which is a large painting for me. It has a very, RED wall. I did a series in 2004 or interiors with red walls and dogs. Why do we love red?

I won’t be able to paint people in public until after my show, so bear with me until then. I will only be posting studio in-process work for now.

The detail works as it is so the whole will be a treat to see.

Hi, Ney, Owen, and Sherry. Thanks for the nice comments. I’m working really hard for the show. Somedays, I feel like the crappiest painter ever.

I come back to this one often. I’m always surprised she’s wearing clothes and not holding a cigarette.
