oil on masonite
I've been getting used to painting on this orange-red ground. Just like with the black ground, I play with the edges showing slivers of what's beneath, and the red is powerful in that respect. Especially with skin. At the same time, I'm working on a spring show - most of the prep requires thinking too hard and not enought painting. But..... I did my first piece which is a bit larger than my usual - quite frankly, just to see if I could - and I love it. Can't wait for you to see it.
This new piece The Hunt for Red October is a scene from the beaches of Hilton Head Island - a man with a good book and his best friend patiently waiting for some playtime.

a note ........ Howard/Mandville Gallery's Small Works Show opens tonight in Kirkland, Washington - please give them a call if you're interested in either of the two new pieces I painted for the occasion. I would greatly appreciate your consideration.
