Packing for a Show

A Monster Attacks at Breakfast, 22" x26", oil on linen, 2010

I finally finished and signed my newest painting. This painting was a bit of a struggle, I almost quit after a week and ended up putting it on hold for over a month. I did a few paintings in the mean time. After the holidays I got charged up and finished it in a few days.
I like to take photos of the work as it develops. I have about 18 photos of the painting as it progressed. In my next post I will show all the steps involved in this picture- except for the temper tantrums, though honestly they would be entertaining. You can see from the first post on this painting, I has gone through quite a journey.

The Monster painting will be part of still life show opening in a few weeks. This week I am busy packing up about 18 of my paintings to deliver to The University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The show will have the work of 4 other painters, including my good friend Jonathan Queen.
