Waiting

My dog Turbo

I think I liked the way this one turned out. Acrylic on cardstock

I've been staying up past midnight lately so I could put in some time towards my art. It seems after a long hectic day at work, then family and dishes and laundry...there's not much time left. It didn't help that I messed with the printer all last night-took me a while to realize my pictures were printing out muddy looking because I didn't align the new color cartridge! Today my husband and I browsed through pictures from a Disneyland trip a few years ago-can't wait to go back!

  1. I like the original perspective on this, but it still tells you a lot about Turbo.

  3. Sweet painting. I used to only be able to draw my cats from the back, because otherwise they would see me looking at them and immediately come towards me. So it was either sleeping cats or cats from the back. ;-)

  4. I, too, like the perspective. Very nicely done.

  5. Caatje, curiosity killed the cat paintings! I know just what you mean. Mine take up infinite cute poses, and the minute I whip out my sketchbook, camera or camera phone to try to capture the ephemeral, they jump down and run away! So frustrating.

  6. Love this perspective too. Nice job on the pomegranates. If I find myself lost in a sea of browns and blacks, I add some blues and magentas in there to add some color and liveliness, even if you wouldn't assume those colors are in there. Check out my sheep face and notice there are no grays in his fur, just blues and pinks and oranges. http://revelleimagemaker.blogspot.com/2011/09/pen-and-ink-and-dr-martins-ink-sheep.html
    Hope this helps!

  8. How cute! I often got this from my dog when he was still alive, but it usually wasn't because he wanted something. Then he would face me and move his eyes back and forth from me to whatever he wanted. No, when I got this, it was because I had offended him in some way and he was letting me know! LOL Wonderful painting!
