The Owl and the Pussycat, Plastic Wisdom Oil Painting continues

Rich thick creamy vibrant color. More to come. Plastic Wisdom continues.

Plastic Wisdom, The owl and the Pussy Cat

As the journey continues, Babybear meets a plastic owl who is giving words of wisdom.
Plastic wisdom like believing in commercials and media hype. Not exploring and learning the wise ways form wise sources.
This painting is 22" x 28" and is an oil on canvas and is still in progress.
I'm really enjoying creating light with color .

Dragon Dream continues The night before the journey

Did some work on the night before the journey. Dreaming of Dragons..."Dragon Dream"
Not completely satisfied with the way this painting has turned out...but it is one of many to be painted.

So here it is.

The night before the journey

Baby Bear rests peacefully before he begins his journey the next day...dreaming about Dragons


"Dragons generally symbolize power and grandeur, but Eastern versions view dragons as benevolent, lucky and wise, while their Western counterparts associate them with malice and trickery. In many cultures, the dragon's fierce, majestic presence makes it a symbol of virtuous qualities, such as bravery, intelligence and ambition".

This is a small painting   9" x12" oil on Canvas . Not complete.   I seem to say not complete a lot.
But they do get completed...this is the process.

The Journey.....Baby Bear, my cat scoping out the journey

Getting close to being finished.  Tomorrow last touches...perhaps some distant birds.
Amping up the colors. Contrasts of warm and cool. This is being created on some unstretched canvas.

That's quite a journey Baby Bear is considering. Leaving the cool shadows and safety of home, through the open valleys unto the mountains...and many unknowns.

Here it is.."The Journey" oil on canvas.

Some new Paintings in the works.  A Mother and Child....living at the San Diego Safari Park .
Strange to see a mother and child on display...She was looking for quiet . Finally at one point she got up with baby in tow to a quiet place around a corner. Food was being droped in from above the enclosure.  Strange when you think about it this way. We're told this is to educate us....sure does.

A

And then there's Baby Bears journey...across the great divide over yonder........

In progress.

Something different Ocean and Sailboat

This is a commission I just completed for a home on the beach. Working conditions were superb. I was painting on a wall with slider glass doors facing the ocean.   I had fun.
