UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE Hanging On The Edge Of A Lizard Frill

Things happening I started a new painting already. Did a U-Turn and find myself on the shadier side of the spectrum, must be all this hot weather we're getting. This is right before I'm about to add the second colour here, stay tuned to find out!

Also re-stretched a new painting for sale next week, I don't know if I'm allowed to announce it yet so I better keep it under wraps but there's a painting coming off the market, can you guess which it is??

Also dealing with carpal tunnel, taking frequent breaks, doing hand exercises, wearing the brace, trying to live my life. 

GREEN ANOLE There's A New Painting In Town

Green Anole: acrylic on canvas 12 x 12 x 1.5 inches 2018 $500

I finished my new painting here. It took me awhile and to be honest I changed the colours around quite a bit. It took me awhile to really decide what I was going for and how to achieve it. He's got a pretty pink dewlap, either marking its territory or attracting a mate, he fades back into the room of green also. Both flashy and elusive like a human wink, be careful of getting caught staring. Part of a series of very individualistic reptile rooms I'm working on. Each reptile adapting and dare I say thriving in their perspective housing units. Could these be the characters I meet on the day to day?

Colour Scales

I opened the door in the new painting today and let some of the plants in. I wonder what this means! Here I am above painting my colour scales. I filled those in already so don't get too attached, it already looks different, better. This one's much smaller than previous, it's part of a series of Reptile Rooms. 12 x 12 x 1.5 inches, this one is of a green anole lizard. 

I had a pretty good day. I have been painting interspersed with breaks, giving my hands a chance to rest seems to give the carpal tunnel a break. I like to wake up early with the sun, maximize daylight painting time. I hit the paints early then take breaks throughout, going for a walk, groceries, errands, lunch, getting dinner ready, watch and or read an episode of this or that. Tomorrow is another paint day minus a 3 hour work meeting. My attention span runs about 50 minutes so we'll see how I cope, hopefully nobody takes it personally. Except for painting, painting I can go for a few hours without realizing days have passed, like fast forwarding into the future. I'll see you later.
