Garden Muses

  "Garden Muses," 6" x 12", commissioned double portrait of water spaniels, done in acrylics on museum quality panel, private collection (with many thanks!).       I couldn't get to the easel quickly enough today - there's something about the call of an unfinished painting that lures me into the studio with a powerful pull.   The majority of today's work was done with Augie and Luna's references tucked away. Instead, I imagined them in front of me, the kiss of sunlight on their muzzles, the hum of crickets and peepers in the background.   I've sent this image off to my client and am hoping she's doing cartwheels about now.   Have a fabulous evening!

Garden Muses, In Process

What woman wouldn't kill for those?!   I'm currently accepting commissions and even have a couple spots left for delivery by Father's Day -  email me  if you are interested.       Both Augie and Luna had wonderful lives. My client has the fondest memories of time spent in the garden with them, so it seemed fitting that their portrait be staged in the same place. My goal is to infuse this painting with their two distinctive personalites and the unique flair of a particular location.   (I also love the way the garden growth, which reads as foliage, also reads as abstraction and patterning)   See you tomorrow!!
