12x9 oil on canvas paper
These little guys have been sitting around for a month, waiting to pose. (There was a third, a jack-be-little, but he was jack-be-squishy by this time.) I bought them because of their interesting, spooky hats. I figured I better paint them before they rot, or I rot. I'm more than a little rusty. I don't feel like I'm quite finished, but my sore neck forces me to stop. Painting that flying-kite of a leaf, and allowing it to remain happily underdeveloped, was my favorite part.

Yes... I think that's a special talent... painting just enough so that the viewer completes the picture... Perfect Dar!!
So glad to see your work and your words again!!
You do not appear to be rusty at all, this is wonderful. I love your sense of humor, "Jack be squishy" haha
This is a wonderful little painting Dar. I love the way you have intensity of colour and form in the centre moving out to looseness and the understated leafy foliage around it.
Thanks, Mar. I tend to paint a little too long, so this worked out to my advantage.
Barb, thank you. Your encouragement means a lot.
Sheila, you've given me something to think about. I'm always hoping to learn something from each piece, and I don't always see the lesson. Thank you!
Lovely, Dar! Simply lovely.
Thank you very much, Don!
Lovely painting, Dar. More defined in the center and looser toward the edges - really great! And I LOVE the stems and the leaf - beautiful line quality!
Thank you so much, Connie!
Jack Be Squishy would be a good name for a rock band.
This is lovely, Dar. Good job!
Lol, nearly once a day, my kids and I say "that's my next rock band." :)
Thanks.
Jack-be-squishy, hahahahaha!
This is wonderful.
Thanks, Jala!
