corgi

My 48^th acrylic painting is supposed to be a corgi. This one was also a gift, so once again I found myself fussing with it a bit more than the loose, expressionist-slash-fauvist look I hope to cultivate someday. And again, I find myself doing a lot of drybrush work when painting an animal, even though I can't remember drybrush ever being discussed as a typical acrylic technique. For me, it just feels like the right thing to do here.

something I am grateful for today

Driving alone on quiet midday streets with a quiet mind, perfect weather, and gorgeous music. In moments like that, life is as good as you could want.
