Just don't pretend you know more about your characters than they do, because you don't. Stay open to them. It's teatime and the dolls are at the table. Listen. It's that simple.

April - Day One

ETC:

The nice thing about acrylics is that I can rough sketch both position and size by "blocking in" the elements of a painting and then go over it later and correct it. It's at this stage that I can test colors and composition.

April - Day Two

I'm really enjoying this one, and I think it's mostly because I so love the colors going on. I've got Vivaldi and Mozart hangin' with me tonight while I finish this one, and I'm taking a break to go for a bike ride and get some clarity before I return to finish it.

ETC: Done for the night, and not quite finished.

Couldn't Sleep

Went to bed, and then got back up to finish it.

April Video Story

I put together a little video of my painting of "April," with background music by Arvo Part.

You can obtain a "print" of this painting by ordering it as a greeting card (8½" x 5½").
