On my easel, "Sweepin' Out My Blues", 11x14, acrylic. Getting rid of all of the negative energy and making room for the positive.

This is my latest project, still working on the shadow. It’s acrylic on a 16x20 stretched canvas. No title as of yet.

This is the third painting in a new series called "Dancing". It is a small piece 20" X 24". Acrylic on canvas. The series is based on photos during tenure as a Videographer for a Ballet Studio. LORD willing the series will have 24 paintings.

So…. What’s on my easel... or… what’s on my desk? I always have a pen or pencil in my hand when at my desk and there’s always a bit of scrap paper laying around. Well, scrap paper+ pen + time on hold (or procrastinating) = doodles! I will doodle on the same piece of paper until it’s filled up. Sometimes that is just a day or two, sometimes it’s a month or more. Sometimes I add one line. Other times I’ll fool with it for several minutes. When the paper is full I toss them in the trash.
Today I was adding to my latest creation when I decided it would be good for “What’s on your easel”. Not a masterpiece but always fun to see how they develop. This is all of 4” square.

This is almost finished but still on the easel.

Here’s what’s on my easel! In lieu of a newborn arrival, I’ve been commissioned a baby animal scene.

Work still in progress - 18x24 oil on stretched linen. Started over a year ago and recently resumed. Pieced together from a copper kettle I have, photo of the neighbor's mandevilla plant, and random wildflowers from this area.

I've been working on a Sunrise and Sunset series of small paintings 6x6 because of a request for one while I was at Harkers Island, NC this past December 2024. I featured the series in my DonnasCavePainting Blog. I still need to varnish and wire them. Which one is your favorite?
I've also have an 8x10 canvas started for a baby giraffe in progress. LONG way to go as yet. The painting in progress is here https://donnascavepainting.blogspot.com/2025/01/post-365-baby-giraffe-in-progress.htmlArtistry Spin Blogmaster and an artist member of PWAS in Woodbridge, VA, specializing in acrylic painting.
