New Paintings

Below are two images of a bigger painting, 30x24 of another dog I'm working on. This will be the biggest one so far. This is from a small painting I did, which sold, of a friends dog named Chuck. So far the strokes are big and bold and very abstract, which I'm liking. The third is another start of a smaller painting. Most surfaces are painted black prior to painting, I also chalk in the image, sometimes highlighting the dark and light areas.
