As some of you may know, I was asked several months ago by UK artist
Gill Barron, Painter of Everything, to be a contributing artist in her how-to book on acrylic painting, to be published by
Quarto Publishing. VERY EXCITING! I've been hard at work putting finishing touches on two large paintings with progress photos and text for the project, and I'm finally done. One painting is an interior/still life, and one is a portrait of our Bailey.
I can't show you the finished paintings, but if you look real hard you might catch a blurry partial glimpse of one in this photo I took of Bailey in my studio.*
While I was doing the cropping and sizing to get this blog-ready, I had the thought, what if I did a painting of this photo and took another picture of Bailey sitting in front of
that painting? And then what if I did
another painting of
that photo and took a picture of Bailey in front of
that painting? And THEN ... I had to stop thinking about it because I was starting to blow my own mind a little bit.

The day after I took this photo I found this art card by Nicole Wong and I just HAD to have it. It's just, oh, SO Bailey.
