I'm continuing to finish up some older paintings that have been sitting around the studio, while making small steps in starting some new small ones. I had some issues with the floor in "No Cavities!" I would paint it, then scrub it out . . . paint it again, then scrub it out. I think I finally got it.  The colors in these Fisher Price paintings are sooo much fun.  I'm finishing up the wheels on "Gentleman Farmer" so hopefully that will be up soon.

Thank you for continuing to stop by to see what's new.  

Finishing

"No Cavities"  (almost done!)

You're probably getting sick of seeing this painting almost as much as I am! I'm having problems finishing.  I've got this one and the "Really Big Shoe" that I just can't seem to motivate myself to finish -- and they're soooo close! Actually, I think the shoe is done . . . I'm just deciding on whether or not I need to smooth out the background wash, or put a slight shadow in it. I probably should just keep it the way it is. And this one . . . I just need to fix that floor (pain in the neck!) and work on a couple other values. Meanwhile -- I've begun drawing out some new paintings. That shouldn't surprise you . . . by now I'm sure you're used to my madness!  

Thank you for dropping by to view my work.  Happy Painting!

I worked on this some more today and it's starting to develop.  But I must admit, I spent a good portion of the day outdoors, chillin' by the pool, trying to squeeze out some more summer before it's gone.  Here in the Northeast our sweet, warm days are numbered, so I'm trying to make the most of what's left of them.  But I'll try to work harder tomorrow . . . (at my tan) . . . nooooo . . . my painting!  :)  

Thanks for visiting!

This is my first fisher price painting on aquabord and it's much larger than any I've done in the past.  I was hoping to be a little further along already, but this is the "surprise" I was talking about. (I hope you're not disappointed.) I LOVED playing with the FP Village as a kid -- do you recognize it? I had wanted to use this as my "street view" for the DPW Challenge -- but I obviously didn't make the first week. I'll probably still submit it -- it's a little out of the box for the challenge -- but all in good fun. :)

I have a series of these paintings in mind -- all on this scale -- and for a particular purpose that I'll divulge at a later date.  Hopefully it will all work out. In the meantime, stay tuned . . . I have some fun ones planned and thank you for visiting my blog.  :)
