Today's subject matter is pretty different than my usual preference. I felt like I needed to break away from those photo references for a while and push my subject matter way out of my comfort zone. I don't paint many still lifes, so I thought that would be a good choice. A little girl's stuffed animals seemed an unlikely subject for me, so it was perfect. I wanted to still use some of the rougher scratchy strokes that I have been working with, but painting from life. I set up in our dining room today to paint these.
The first piece is a stuffed animal that Erin sleeps with. It is quite special to her.

it is interesting to see your brushwork on painting these subjects ... it works beautifully!

They all have a 'landscape' feel to them; don't know why, maybe it's the textural brushstrokes.
