Um-m-m, not sure

Still on the Picasso Dog thing; I had a "traditional" dinosaur elements in mind, however this is what happened:

Something a bit different.

I think it's a Dino-Bird. The tail became a wing and then a beaky thing happened. A bit different, but I think the little critter has an endearing quality to the face. I just kind of have to follow my pencil :-)

Where is my carrot?

Feeding my "Picasso Dog" drawing addiction :-)
Bunny time:

"Where is my carrot?"

Remy's Crocodile...

This is Remy with his new toy. The expression on this crocodile makes me laugh. Anyway, Remy loves this style, the kind with 16 (!) squeakers.

Remy looking very cool...

Remy, say "hello" to Croc...

A Golden greeting.

Flying...more

Yes, another version of a "Picasso Dog" drawing and this time it's a horse.

Not jumping...Flying!

Fly Boy

I do my best not to do any planning in advance as it defeats the spirit of a Picasso dog drawing. but I suppose do I have a particular breed in mind, though it's difficult to tell, huh?
So after turning the page around and around this dog made his appearance ;-)
Meet the soaring "Picasso dog":

AKA "Fly Boy"

Assignments done, yay!

The base paintings from a few days ago now look like this:
Yellow red base:

Funny birds, huh.

Blue red base:

This would have to be Romy and Remy with me!

"Between Speech & Silence" assignment

Diane Culhane's "Between Speech and Silence" online class ended last Friday (!) and I have the final two paintings to complete. I tend to do either controlled graphicky things or large, non-objective swashy pieces, but this final assignment is somewhere in the only recently explored "middle". I am thoroughly enjoying this class - it's so freeing to experiment.
So, here is the first base painting:

Light

And here is the second:

Dark

I have some collage elements to add and then I get out the brushes, pens and acrylics. Hm-m-m, I have no idea what will happen :-)
