Post 203: You're Going to Need a Bigger Boat 5x7 Acrylic

Painting Name: You're Going to Need a Bigger Boat

I have never been an ocean swimmer. Especially since seeing Jaws when it first came out. Ankles in the water, maybe knees, it is rare to find me any deeper in the ocean. Jaws is out there somewhere...

What Brought About this Painting?

Yesterday (Sunday, October 31, 2021), I was working at Clearbrook Center of the Arts at Tackett's Mill in Lake Ridge, Virginia and a family came into the gallery. A family of 6, the children wandered about while we chatted with the father and the mom. What a great family! Such cheerful children, very enthusiast about art too!

They actually purchased THREE of my art prints too! Apparently one of the boys really loves sharks - they saw my mini shark fin painting and wondered if I had any other shark paintings. And I didn't until now. Had to correct that oversight.

Here is the finished painting from November 6, 2021:

So here it is 5:31 AM on November 1, 2021 - hey, I'm OFF work today and tomorrow! The progress thus far.


Monday, November 1, 2021 5:46 pm - I may need to lighten up the ocean a bit...and I did. The completed painting is at the top of the post. This one was too dark.

Post 203: Milk and Oreos 5x7 Acrylic

Painting Name: Milk and Oreos

The Wall Theme for January/February changed on me. I had artwork ready for the art theme "Orange" but now its "Black and White with a pop of color". The wheels are turning for this one...

What Brought About this Painting?

A change in wall theme did it. Therefore Google Search, hello.

"Things that are black and white" gets typed into the search bar. I'm looking for things that are obvious other than zebra, panda bears, black and white cats, dogs, horses, etc. Hmmmm, oreo cookies and milk...there's a thought. Thus a painting.

The finished painting (updated November 6, 2021)

Aren't giraffes kind of prehistoric looking? And they look like large goofy clumsy critters. Cute in an odd way.
