This was just 'one of those paintings'... one of those paintings that flowed off the brush. I spent most of the day trying to force myself to paint things I knew I 'should' paint. I whined about it on Facebook. To my husband. To my dog (see above). Then I opened my photos that I took to Karin Jurick's workshop to perhaps paint. And I spotted this photo of Paco. He was so happy that day at the beach, such a clown, as Pugs are known to be. I cropped the photo just 'so', and BAM. I felt like I was sitting right with Karin, painting away, in the 'zone'.I don't say this about every painting, but I just LOVE this one!
Paco looks like he is having a ball. Love it!
ReplyDeleteKell! Love this one- Can just tell it flowed...a lot of energy and just all Paco! Love the cropping. Yay for you!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a race Paco has going on here Kelley! Captured his personality too.
ReplyDeleteI like it very much!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous palette, lovely composition, and perfect painting, Kelley!
ReplyDeleteoh Paco- you really captured his barreling motion and spirit here! Heres to many more "flows" off the brush!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great painting..Love it ..he is SO cute and you have totally captured him
ReplyDeleteIt's super, Kelley. Make you just want to reach out and pat him on the head.
ReplyDeleteKelley this is so fabulous!! I thought it was a Winter scene at first, but it works as a beach scene too. That pop of turquoise blue at the top just sets the whole thing off. Awesome!!!
ReplyDeletePainted with a big heart and it shows! (Looks effortless, don't you love it when that happens?) I love it too: your brushwork here is sooooo expressive and the colors just SING!! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLOVE, love, love it! Such energy, enthusiasm, motion and downright fun - you have captured it all with your expressive brushwork and mastery of values. Wonderful, Kelley!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Pug painting! Love it! Hopefully one day I will pick up a brush and try my hand at painting. Doubt I'll ever be very good at it but I'm going to give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteTiverton is such a beautiful place!!! Did you know I was there earlier this year?
precious!! love the movement you captured!
