"Dalmation Two"




8"h x 6"w Oil on Panel

This painting is the companion-piece to "Dalmation One" and depicts the same dog in a different pose.  Again I used blue tones to represent the black spots; this time a slightly less abstract and more "painterly" style seemed appropriate, and the colors are more muted than in the first.  I almost never plan those sorts of things in advance, but let the painting itself guide me towards the "look" it wants.

Dalmation One


5"x 7" oil on panel

Could not resist playing with the dark and light colored shapes.  Amazing when one really looks there are many colors in what we call white and black.
