Cherry Starburst
Well, my friends, at the risk of burning everyone out on my Eye Candy series of palette knife paintings, I present to you the first in the next sub-series - Eye Candy: Starbursts…
Cherry Starburst – 4″x4″ – Acrylic on canvas – Completed 10-4-11

In case you were wondering, these aren’t the only things getting my attention in the studio. While I’m having fun with these little confectionary treats I’m also working on some larger canvasses. In fact, I am currently working on what will be my largest Over the Under-Schmeerings painting to date. Below you can see it in progress. To give a sense of scale I also included both Cherry Starburst and my trusty palette knife…
Work in Progress
Oh yeah, if you ever wondered whether or not my studio was a relaxing place to hang out, just look below. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a cat sleeping any more deeply than Franzie is here. It was funny to watch him wake up a little while later. He had been so sound asleep that he looked over at me with the most confused look on his face and gave a ‘what the heck is going on’Â ”Meow”.

Speaking of hanging out in my studio, I’d better get back in there…
Happy Creating!
Very interesting to see the eye details in the large work in progress rather than a solid black. And the doorway…. light on the other side?!
cherry is super pretty…excellent looking new big painting in the works–and you know I am a total sucker for a cute cat! Great post!
Robin… Thanks. I’m thinking more along the lines of hope and faith – a brighter day tomorrow…
Celeste… Thanks! I loved your cat blanket yesterday. Franzie is still too much of a kitten at heart to get that settled on anyone’s lap – unless I’m reading, of course, and then he wants to lay on my chest – between my eyes and the book.

Beautiful! I love the cat too!
Those aren’t schmeers on Franzie, are they? Interesting photos–more great work.
Shannon… Thank you! Franzie is the perfect studio companion…
Hallie… Not schmeers that I applied, but definitely schmeers, none-the-less. Thanks.
