I appreciate that comment, Kehaulani. Here is another I don’t believe I have shown here yet,

At the risk of ruining it, I will not add any more to this one.
( Believe it or not there are changes from the previous stage I showed ) done. Put the fork in it now. I hope they don’t ask for any more details. The “customers” have not seen even the slightest hint of this painting yet.

So sorry I bothered you about that BigDub lockout thing. Get well soon !

OF course-
Your health is number one priority....I didn’t know either.

@Dr-GO
Thanks for the encouragement. But.......I might actually do a little tweaking on it yet. I have the time...I see some things....

Here are some subtle finishing touches. I think I may be done with it, but I will wait a while to decide...

Here is a set of photos showing my process to do a dog portrait. I may not always work this way, but this is how I am approaching this one. I may have to do two posts to handle all the shots. Some photoshopping was done on the first one, BTW

@Kehaulani

I would say I am a bit on the unconventional style. Some bits and pieces here and there, but a lot of things that I have discovered maybe by trial and error.....and sometimes accidentally!
I will do some of the palette knife stuff, but sometimes it needs a little help, in my opinion through other means, a brush sweeping lightly past, or a slightly wet brush to soften places. or even my finger, lots of times. This is acrylic paint, though. Did you know that?

I haven’t shown you all this one yet........

2010 is when it was last sold, not when it was painted. Roberto's works were greatly recycled for generations. Characteristics are mandatory trees and mountains, and suns and skies that don't look like suns and skies.

Yes, of course paintings are always dated when they are sold and not when they are painted.....everybody knows that

Here is my own modern day update to myGreat Grandfather’ s painting. I didn’t keep strictly to any details....BTW

And they must be happy. And little. And any which way he wanted them to be.

@Kehaulani
Or, maybe, a follower of Roberto Rossellini, ( affectionately known to us in the US as Bob Ross ) since Bob, I mean Roberto was dead before the date of 2010 there in the right hand corner.....

A painting by my great grandfather ( who I never got to meet ). The painting was one of many I have been looking at for my whole life. This one may be near 100 years old ! By the way, he only lived to be 54 years of age, and he was a contractor by trade.B3F99F05-4118-42E3-9A66-35E3C769B0C3.jpeg

@Dr-GO I take a dose of it right before I paint, usually.

A very old vintage painting I did which involved some combining of images....just saying, I did not actually see this scene as it appears except when I painted it that way! We are looking at something from around 1980 here.

Another one you may ask why I did. Answer: I wanted to see how it would come out.

I was never a fan of Welk but he wrote an autobiography that I enjoyed very much. You might, as well. Interesting man.

Who was the autobiography about?
Bwahahahaahaaha

The Good Ship Lollypop?

Or the Goodwill Ship Lollypop where people actually give a ship!

If you noticed, the owner of the boat might have beenMomma's Boy. See the name? ( Me n Ma )

This truly is a ghost ship. It has a back wash and small wake but no captain operating the boat!

You have a good point there. They must have been trying to find something on the floor for a minute.
