Being Bad

Here is a dog (mine) “being bad”. One of her ideas of fun is taking plastic bags, which I keep a collection of out of necessity, and chewing them to shreds. Her goal is to bribe me into giving her a treat to get the bag away from her. It doesn’t always work, but it works often enough so that she keeps doing it. This is a graphic drawing from a photo.

This is a traditional drawing of that same dog being her more rare angelic self.

The Experiment

The Experiment is this:  to paint frequently, every day if possible, and document progress on this blog.  I have a fancier website at Leitworks Studio and various other pages where I sell things, but this will be a working blog with more frequent updates. This will include photography, digital artwork, sketches, and paintings, as often as I can.

This is a recent painting called “Pumpkin Beach” that I finished in September, and then finished it again in December (made an improvement or two) and now it is finally complete. I went to Costa Rica in November and came back with ideas, and basically added the rock and the splash to the water. It was a good addition. You can buy prints of this or the original on my Artspan site.
