Louie, Louie


Acrylic on Canvas, 9x12 - SOLD
I had so much fun painting this little guy that I've neglected a piece scheduled for entry in a theater competition this Monday! (Guess I'll be working late....) Just wish I could get that 50s song out of my head!

Louie - Progress - Part II


Acrylic on Canvas, 9x12 - In Progress
Here's little Louie again. I'm working in the background and some details now. The eyes were the most critical part. I completed those first--they give the portrait a "spark of life" and enable me to understand the rest of the body.

Louie - Progress - Part I


Acrylic on Canvas, 9x12--In Progress

Meet Louie. I received this commission today and couldn't resist starting. What an expression this puffball wears in the actual photo!

I thought it might be interesting to "watch" the progress of this painting. Hence, this is Part I. It looks more like a watercolor as I get the values in place. Hopefully, you will see a shift in the coming days to more of a painterly oil representation with the acrylic paints. (For those interested in time commitments, this took approximately 20 minutes.)
