I am missing 2 of this group of 4×4 paintings, because I am waiting on canvas. Bah.
So, of my group of folks who were with me the night the countdown ran to zero, do ya know which one is yours?

I just finished Rusty’s underpainting. I’ll be completing this portrait tomorrow! BTW, here is what he will look like when he’s completed.

It is incredible.
Lion : Final Scan & Details!
April
26
2005
Are you ready for this?! ONE MORE TIME, I will show off my newest masterpiece. Man-o-man. 3 hours to scan, my computer kept misbehaving so I called Dell for more virtual memory. (That’s right, another gig of VM just for the lion!) Then I had to reduce my scans by 50% just so my programs wouldn’t crash out on me. More memory will arrive tomorrow, then I can piece the original full size scans together and it will be large enough for a near-full-size print.
I thoroughly enjoyed painting this guy, and hope many more people consider custom wildlife paintings. It gives me a great opportunity to broaden my gallery and get to the zoo for some photography sessions!
Click “read more” for all of the detail images. There are plenty, and they rock! (Toot, toot, toot – it’s so unlike me, but this piece does deserve it!)

Rusty WIP #1
April

2005
So far this morning I’ve varnished my Lion painting (you will see scan details soon!), done a load of laundry, made scrambled eggs for Chickiemonkey and sunnyside-uppers for Caitibug, loaded and started the dishwasher, took out the trash and Swiffered the floors. Then, since I had 5 minutes left before the Bug took off for school, I decided I had plenty of time to work up the background on Rusty! An hour later…
New Sketch : Rusty

I’ve sketched out my next painting, meet Rusty! He’s a sweet cocker spaniel who enjoys lying on the couch and knits his own cozy winter sweaters in his free time. I’ll be painting his roomie when his portrait is finished, you’ll see her next week. Rusty is on a 12×12 gallery wrapped canvas; can you guess what his background color will be?
I’ll paint his background tomorrow morning and while that’s drying I can get everything else scanned, packed & shipped.
Lion Completed!

Here he is, furry paws and all that jazz! I love him. I’m going to scan him when he’s dry (before I ship tomorrow) and show you some detail shots, and trust me I’m scanning big enough to make prints of this bad boy.
A side shot here for you, I chose a nice deep olive for the sides of this whoppin 1-1/2″ deep canvas. It looks awesome!

Now I’ve completed his face and mane, and need to work on the rock to the right, his paws and the foreground mulch. I’m going to stop for the day, The Man will be headed to work tomorrow (first official day back) so I’d like to cozy up to my favorite lump for a little while. 😀
