It's Dooley Time




What goes through a cat's mind, anyway?

Friend or foe?


This approach was inspired by a cat painting by Jamie Wyeth. Mr. Wyeth's painting is probably quite large, and features lots of green apples. Mine is 11 x 14"

Mother and Child - Mary Cassatt

January 19, the Ohio Plein Air Society invited artists to paint at the Cincinnati Art Museum. I brought an 11 x 14" panel to copy one of my favorites. Next time, I'll try Elizabeth Nourse.
I'm preparing to conduct a workshop at the Cincinnati Art Club March 1 & 2. The subject will be 'painting from photos.' Students will bring their own photos, and we'll work on composition, color, mood and creating distance. It should be a blast.
