Summer Painting

The monsoons have started, it is hot and humid.
Not a good condition to paint outdoors, even if it is lush and green for once.

5 x 7 inches Hotel Congress

Inspired by Duane Keiser's cigar box (see "love these paintings" in list to right)
I got my painting partner and I, smaller stealth boxes to paint in coffee shops. In this inaugural outing, we went to the lobby of Hotel Congress. Nice to work in air conditioning with music and bathrooms handy.



Also painted some in studio common objects, here is a fresh teabag on a 6 x 6 inch canvas.

Here are the pup pictures, they are happily hunting lizards, palo verde beatles and tarantulas.
Miss Priscilla scouting.

This is Rufus in action, he is a swift and strong leaper, look ma, no feet on ground!
