Acorn Homage, 65 x 48,. acrylic, 2008



I finished Acorn Homage today. It was a great deal of fun as I was brushing the many layers of translucent pigment over the acorns. Each layer added new depth to the markings that surrounded the acorn.
Before the final coats.



New Image started today. Pine Person. Huge painting carved out today with many markings that seem natural in the process of documenting this image.
