This was a struggle. If you look close, you can see a wild assortment of strokes, overpainting and confusion. I decided to post it anyway because the one thing that I think may have worked is the light. This has been on my easel for months and I spent a lot of time just staring at it wondering what to do next. It’s a painting that will never be finished but also one where I had to just stop and move on – which I guess means it’s finished.

On a lighter note, a friend just became a dog owner and sent a photo of their new family member snoozing on the couch. I am fond of other people’s dogs and just couldn’t keep myself from doing a quick sketch. Adorable, right? He’s just a puppy and is going to be Huge.
