painting again


Here is the painting I did from this sketch.

It has been pointed out to me that this is very derivative of Pokey Little Puppy, and I agree, but I swear I did not realize it when I sketched it. It's like when George Harrison subconsciously ripped off "He's So Fine" for "My Sweet Lord". I hope the Golden Books people believe that!

This is the first time I have painted in a million years. Every now and then I can't resist the urge to drag them out and torture myself. I am never EVER happy with anything I paint. It is never good enough. Whine whine whine. Where's my Zoloft?

We're talking PAINT-PAINT as in oil or acrylic not that PhotoShop waacom-brush undo-psuedo paint...???

COOL! beat yourself up all you want (it's your face) but this looks great and "you're a better man than I am Windsor-Newton!"

btw, if Harrison wasn't hari-krisnahed I think he woulda strangled Phil Spector who produced not only "My Sweet Lord" but also "He's So Fine" with his then-wife Ronnie....

"Hello???? Mr.Control-Room? You listening up there???"

And if George did aff him back then, there'd be at least one more blonde bimbo alive today.....

Hey!
I see you haven't been too "bizee" to paint.
Good. But it kills me how you think everything you paint is "not good enough".
How do you post pictures on this "blog"?? I'd like to show one or two examples of how you "didn't get it quite right".

Your friend,
Benny

Spammers? What?
Did their little "spambots" figure out the wavy access code?

WHAT GIVES??

There are THOSE who would say we were being censored.

I feel kind of "sick."

The Pokey Little Puppy is not such a bad thing to be influenced by.

And you should paint more often, you nut.

Mark, I kid you not -- your painting is TERRIFIC, and I wish I painted half as well as you. I love how you work with the color, the textures, the paint as paint -- it's all brilliant stuff, love it all.
