A new year – two new paintings
Paintings in progress: Swedish Cow I and II
Happy new year! Some wonderful friends surprised me with a Christmas gift of two large canvases, 24″x24″. Up until now I have been painting on smaller sizes, mostly 8″x10″ and even smaller cigar boxes. While looking at the canvases the day after receiving them I was trying to imagine what in the world I might paint on them. That’s when I remembered these wonderful cows that I had seen and photographed during a recent trip to Sweden. I love their expressions so I wanted to focus on their faces. I really enjoyed changing the way I typically paint-this time I’m trying a freer style, bigger brushes and dashes of vibrant accent color. The cow on the right is nearly complete and the cow on the left is just started.

I just completed a new painting based on an actual little library in my neighborhood. The real one really is this colorful and it was a grandfather clock in its former life!
