Re: Jack(Border collie)-oils •FINISHED•

Not fair I didn't realize that it went on. Damm I"m looking at the last work, Really good. The eyes take over the image and express the emotion.
I have not gone to page four yet, maybe more comments to follow.

Re: Claybord experiment-No.2

I'm having trouble distinguishing between 4A and 2A and you are talking about oils. You are either the MAN or crazy. Time will tell. Keep it up

Re: the arm

Bob Tallman20221128_20412183-001.jpg The arm is done, so is the rest of it. I think the solution I chose is sympathetic to all your comments especially Mikes, leave it mostly alone. .

Venting

The Family 20221116_10072752-001.jpg This one almost did me in. It started with the photo of this Elk Family that I found captivating. It surely isn't a familiar scene as he has many wives. But the environment of the scene was not right, at least in my mind. I'm sure they wouldn't agree. So I went ...
