painting complete...or how i spent my spare time over the last couple of weeks


The concept sketch on a 3x3 post-it note that was laying next to my desk. I got an idea, so I drew it out really quick and splashed some color on it.


Transfering the sketch onto the canvas and adding the background blue.



Adding more blue texture and bringing the grass to life.

The finished product!

Cool! Do you get to find out anything about who buys it? I would be interested to know whether it ends up above someone's couch.

Not really.
We get to go to the event and witness the auctions and eat the food. So, if I am paying attention I could see who has placed the last bid, but that would be kinda nerdy for me to be hanging around my painting.

I like the shading of the grass. It looks like it has texture.

Cool! I've seen some beagles here, believe it or not they are trained not to greet people at all. Can you imagine Molly not getting excited about strangers?!

I'm still trying to get past Molly understanding how to work a tape player.

Dust, I am not following you on that one. Can you explain yourself, because I'm not getting it.

That painting is Great! I love the tail and the ears signalling a moment that is about to explode.

Ahh yes! I knew it was probably floating around in someones comment box.
It all makes sense now.
