Frenchie is Bored
I had originally intended to paint this in a more realistic manner, but once I sketched out the basic shapes in black paint (see the painting process video below), I found an immediate love for the look of the piece. This happens from time to time: plans change mid-painting based on the painting process itself. Ideas spring forth and develop over time, sometimes resulting in a different direction entirely. I do like the result—it’s a little cartoony, but I have no problem with that! A lovely, medium-size painting.
Note: sorry for the grainy photo . . . the painting looks much better in person.Frenchie is Bored, 20x20”, $500
