A new Painting!

A blast from the past in a way. I actually finished this painting in March of this year but haven't shown it yet.
This was done from a sketchbook page dating back to July of 2006. Holly and I were at a park in Bellevue on the 4th taking it easy and enjoying the day with a picnic. I brought my sketchbook and she brought a book to read. When I was almost finished with the sketch I asked her what she thought and she said, "Can you put a little white scoty dog in one of the squares?" I did just that and promised her that if I ever made a painting of this that I would include the little white dog. And there it is the lower right corner.

Memorial birthday Art for Holly McClure

The two bears I painted for one of Holly's Xmas presents 2006. The Profile of the woman was one of her favorites that I painted. The hip couple was always looked at by friends as being Holly and me. RIP sweetie!
I'll be playing a few hours of pool (Her favorite game outside of Scrabble) in her memory this evening at The Garage in Seattle on Capital Hill. Come by and say hello if you in the neighborhood.
