Finished!... and beginning

“Picture Self” - oil on canvas - 9” x 12” - part of “My I Of The Diamond Sky” series

A finished painting! Yes I know I probably need to

retake this picture. Now that Daylight Savings Time has occurred, I thought perhaps I could get the right lighting to take pictures in the morning. But know I’m thinking I should have waited another half hour. I have been rather anxious to post this painting since I finished it about 2 weeks ago.

This is the background of “Picture Self” I suppose if I gave up self imposing my paintings I could probably make some money selling my background paintings. I don’t choose to leave well enough alone yet.

Here is the beginning of a new painting - the background of course. This is part of a triptych, size 22"x 28" The motif is a banana.
