COVID-19 isolation put a magnifier our relationships with animal companions.
During this time painting creatures in my studio two things bubbled to the surface:
a simmering desire to loosen up,
and a sudden hunger for color. I mean full color!
In order to encourage a looser style I chose a painting knife instead of a brush. And later, needing intensified enforcement, I troweled on the primer to texture the painting ground as well. Back to portfolio page. For more color see the Rounds & Reflections portfolio and the Rosie Quick Draw (videos) post which includes several studies for the knife painted Rosie.
