I'm relieved that I have finished the commission I was working on, Gloucester Dories. It may need a bit of glazing when the paint dries, but otherwise I can move on to other painting projects. Today's post to DPW is a fun one:
I was seeing these seed pods everywhere one year and didn't know what they were. They are the most curious looking things. Finally last year I saw them in my neighborhood and when Spring sprung I realized it was under a dogwood tree! When I was very young and used to walk in the woods, there was a dogwood tree there that fascinated me. We don't have that many here in the Northeast. I arranged them on a bunched up white napkin to give them an interesting background and painted them in natural light near the window of my studio.
