NAUTILUS FINISHED

I'm still working on some unfinished paintings.

Nautilus is done now.

I think I may do a larger version and make it more loose and wet-in-wet...this is just a 1/2 sheet trial painting.

I could enter this in a show, Deb, but I already have my two paintings chosen for the June show and they are both crow paintings :) I'm hoping that great "patron" of mine shows up again so he can pretend to buy one! ha ha; May 15, 2011 at 8:39:00 AM EDT
