Oh, those best-laid plans--gone awry! I am leaving tomorrow for a week to go meet my brand new grandson, Theo Alexander! Pretty exciting! I had hoped to finish my next bucking bronc linoleum block print for today's post, but too many details to wrap up before leaving! So, I realized that I had never posted this painting and decided to do so. "Dog's Best Friend" was painted nearly two years ago--when I was discovering daily painters and at the beginning of my going out with my camera in search of subject matter. It's good to remember the excitement of all that. When I discovered the Daily Painters, and Karin Jurik in particular, I felt like I had a whole new world open up regarding my own creative endeavors. This painting brings that back. I like it! I would like to paint this subject again and see how it would be different. . .

I will not be posting for at least a week, but will begin again by the 22nd at the latest. Wishing you all May-flowers. . .

I was pleased to be able to work on this today. As I painted, I couldn't help but try to imagine the history these men shared.

There's something about these ladies I must really like looking at--this is the third time I've painted them! Each time, though, it seems like it's a process of getting more clear on what information I want to put in and trying to understand how to do it. What's necessary, what's not? And then, of course, when I think it's finished (like now), I see things that ought to be tweaked. . .is there a 4th verson on its way?
