Cold weather painting. I love it!

Clarence, my cat. He is completely orange and white, except for this black patch on his forehead. It’s the perfect target for a loaded paintbrush.

At home above the wine racks. From concept to completion, this took a month. Cold and rainy winter weather slowed it down a bit, but the process was smooth. I learned a lot from the painting process. For years I’ve tried this style, but the results have been vague, with confused brush strokes and too little confidence and understanding of where I was going with it. This one was different. I’d love to do more like this, and I’m sure that will happen. Thank you Taste Buds folks! I had a blast!

power

The electricity was fun to draw. I made a previous drawing of this, but didn't like the energy.

plug

No matter where, there are never enough electrical outlets.

push

Nervous energy drawing done over time. We certainly have plenty of commands to make on little electronic buttons these days.
