125 GeV with Luminosity


Having fun with color and subject matter today. Oil on linen 16x 20.

And then I painted this - still having fun with color but cannot explain why I chose this subject - perhaps it was the appearance of warthogs amongst the bunnies last week.

    1. Poor bunny - I agree - I would not want to be him. Thanks for your support, Sandra!

  4. Wonderful, as ever. I suppose we do have to paint somewhat grisly subjects sometimes - go where the muse beckons.

  5. I think that with a little manipulation you could squeeze the elephant into a ballet sequence :0)

    The rabbit is a very dramatic turn! I love the way you keep changing the focus, ballet/ steeplechase/dogs etc. Your enjoyment in your work is obvious ... long may it last!!

    I'm always looking to see what your going to do next ... just love your work!
