Three Views of Venus

Work in progress

The Art Institute of Chicago has an exposition of Greek & Byzantine works. I liked this half-broken statue of Venus enough to paint it. This is the start of it.

Large Animal Study
Watercolor Pencil & Acrylic on watercolor paper
9" x 12"

I actually drew most of this a few years back. Found it on a shelf & finished it off. As always, I love Hippos & Rhinos.

Masu Fish on Red
Acrylic on Stretched Canvas
14" x 11" x 3/4"

We have a SCRUM team at work named 'Masu', so I painted one. It's a type of trout. You can't see the iridescent touches in the photo, but they are there.

Bailey Portrait Feb 2013
Acrylic on Stretched Canvas
11" x 14" x 3/4"

My loyal dog, Bailey, turned 11 in December. She's half weim & half chocolate lab.  Here she is, begging for food.

Hurried Seascape
Acrylic on Canvas Board
16" x 12"

This was part of a monthly exercise on WetCanvas. I started it in the evening of Feb. 18, it was due today, the 20th, so I kinda rushed it.  It turned out a bit Edvard Munch-ish. I'll take it.

Lou at his Weber
Acrylic on Canvas Board
16" x 12"

This is a quick painting of Lou, from my work. His son likes to make movies & music videos. This painting is a composite of a couple frames from one of the movies, where Lou takes a cell phone call while grilling.
