It Seems I Only Paint "F" Words...



It came to me recently that I have a theme going lately...
It seems I only paint "F" words.

Farms
Fields
Flowers
Foliage
Fruit
Forests
Farm Animals
Fish

And since it seems to be working - I think I'll keep painting "F" words.
Afterall, what do you expect from an artist named Fonda?

Everything is Better with Bacon







 I've gone hog wild...I'm hamming it up...

My husband collects pigs - so...I decided to paint him a pig.  It turned into a great project and I photographed all the stages of the painting.  I thought you might enjoy seeing the process. And by the way, the original painting is 36x36.

Stage 1 - Initial Block In
Stage 2 - Proportion


Stage 3 - Define Darks
Stage 4 - Define Lights


Stage 5 - Final Marks - Focal Point




Everything is better with bacon -
