On Google+, a very vibrant community of artists has been growing all summer and fall. A challenge was proposed to do a study after Picasso or an interpretation of one or more of his works. While most of the other artists did an interpretation, I chose to copy this delightful painting of Picasso's. Perhaps I am trying to make up for two copies I never completed in art school.
When I first found this work online, I thought it looked like a cartoon version of a Picasso painting, or what Picasso would paint if he were painting a cartoon version of his own work. It is such a fun image, I couldn't resist! See full post »

This is my third "woobie" painting. I finished it (to this point) 2 or 3 weeks ago, but wasn't really happy with it. I've let it sit since then, but I don't yet feel like either changing it or doing it over, so it is what it is.
I was thinking of a whole series of these, and I may do more as time goes on, but as someone who is addicted to bright colors, painting a white rabbit over and over again may just not do it for me! Time will tell (so to speak). ;) See full post »

I did this painting a few weeks ago, right after my first white rabbit painting, "The Woobie Contemplates Revenge." From a strictly artistic point of view, I was interested in continuing painting white on white, and seeing what I could do with that. I particularly like how fuzzy his fuzzy legs appear in the final work. There's more to this painting than just that, though. I hope you can appreciate it. We live in interesting times...

Painting white things is really fun and challenging. For this painting, I placed a white rabbit stuffed animal in a white box, and lit it from two sides: one a warm light, which casts a cool shadow, and one a cool light, which casts a warm shadow. So in this white on white painting, the colors come mostly from the shadows cast by the lights. See full post »
