Home At Last

Okay, so the painting doesn't look that big next to my glorious 24" monitor, but it is.

I'm glad to be done with this one (although I'm still not sold on the red background that Sarah wanted). I'm sure that is going to be a future project.

This is the most detailed of the Iconoclast paintings that I've done. I think it turned out well.

Next up: 18" x 24" Elvis.

Angry Wife

This was the scene in my dining room today as my wife (she's the one on the right, I'm on the left acting all glib) informed me that she is in fact a Willie Nelson fan. She does check his site almost daily to see where he is, and she also thinks that it's rude that Canadians eat horses.

It's good to get some feedback on this blog (that she's supposed to be participating in).

Thanks to "DaveL5957" for the visual reference. This post would not have been possible without him.

Slick Willie

At 400 pixels wide, you can't really appreciate just how large this painting is. The final photo when it's hanging on the wall should do it justice.

It could use some color, I think.

Sarah requested this specific painting. She claims to be a Willie Nelson fan, although I suspect she only knows two or three of his songs. To be fair, she has seen him in concert at least once. When I was a kid, my parents had an Elvis room. Sarah's aunt and uncle once had a Cher room. Without my consent, our office is turning into a Willie Nelson shrine.

I won't say anything so I'll be able to hang the even larger Salvador Dali painting that I'm planning to execute in our living room. I'm fairly certain that she knows nothing of Dali or melting clocks.

Big Willie Style

This is the very early stages of a painting. Unfortunately, I didn't chronicle the actual assembly of a canvas. I'll get that on my next painting. I'm just waiting for the near-freezing high temperatures to pass so I can open my workshop back up.

This is a 30" x 30" canvas with a rolled edge. It's the biggest portrait painting that I've done so far. I'll post pics as I fill out the canvas with paint. I'm running a little behind. The painting is currently close to 2/3rd complete.
