The Grand Illusion- Styx

The Grand Illusion- Styx. 8x8 Oil on gessobord. This weeks challenge on Daily Paintworks is a mini Monet. Yay! One of my favorites, so I was all in for this one! The challenge is to create "the illusion of an endless whole, of water without horizon or bank." The water and the reflective sky become one. Thanks Ann Nemcosky for the photo and the challenge!

Jack of All Trades- Bruce Springsteen

Jack of All Trades- Bruce Springsteen. 6x6 Oil on gessobord. The challenge this week on Daily Paintworks is to create a composition using tools. These tools kinda are sentimental for a few reasons. My husband's old craftsman screwdriver has ended up in my tools. The hammer is an Ace Hardware one from when we had an Ace Hardware store years ago. The tin snips are old and rusty but still do the job. Wonder what the hell I cut with those? Probably wire? oops. Had never heard this song before, it's a slow one...but I really think it is good. Besides it's Bruce! All american.
