Work in progress...

It has been a very busy week, so I haven't put a lot of time into my artwork since my last post ten days ago. But I did get started on this small still life which I will finish by the end of this week since I have a few days off. There are many challenges in this set-up: the busy fabric pattern, the distorted raccoon skull in the flask, all play into a visual puzzle that is going to test my skill level. I think I'm going to call this one "Have a Drink on Me". See you at the other side of this week, everyone!

This week's studio music:
Midnight Oil- Diesel and Dust
Sheila Chandra- ABoneCroneDrone

  1. An interesting composition indeed Denny and I wish you luck with it. Did the Racoon have too much to drink? lol

  4. Hello Denny-
    I think you have (so far) achieved what art is supposed to be about...Bringing a new life to an existing subject matter! Well Done!
    I will have to get that Diesel & Dust disc out...It's been awhile!
    Best,

  9. Hey DH!~ Excellent raccoon and flask. Those paint by number kits are really paying off!

    No kidding - you're stuff just gets better and better, although in this case, I think I sometimes feel must like the raccoon...
