Just 1 more



I'm suppose to be heading out the door for dinner but I got caught by my lady saying "just one more"..this is the work where I put a grid on the canvas and I'm painting each square as an abstract one at a time {upside down}. I think it may work better for landscapes but I'll try all things once.

Work in progess

I was talking to someone recently about the passion for certain art projects, this one that I'm attempting now I really want to get it right. I took a photo at an art show of people mingling about and way in the background was a little girl barely visible but as I zoomed in on the computer it struck me that she favored a Renaissance Madonna so in this work I want a group of us common folk with a Madonna like figure as the focal point.
