 I painted it on a 8x8x3" canvas, so even the shape is unique. It's chunky and cute and it resides on a bookshelf , where it brightens the whole room. I cannot help but smile each time I look at it. The canvas was a mistake. I did not realize how deep it was when I ordered it. What could I possibly do with it? Well, for this painting, I think it is perfect! Have a fantastic day!

Playing with Paint, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 10x10x3" Abstract Oil Painting
Today is gray, foggy and damp, so I decided to post the most fun painting I could find.

My paintings on the runway??
Several months ago, I was contacted by an Israeli fashion designer, Assaf Pelleg. He was designing his 2017 Spring/Summer Line, and wanted to use one of my paintings in his work. I agreed to work with him, and we found two of my artworks that were of interest to him.
For several months, I heard nothing! Then, suddenly, an email with the completed designs.

I am thrilled with the results!
This is the fun part of what I do. I sometimes struggle for days, over a specific artwork. Just this week, I have worked on a piece for 3 days, and scrapped it this morning! Then there are the boring hours after hours of internet work. Taking photos, editing them, posting them. Sometimes it seems the reward, is not enough to justify the effort.
But then, one day, a painting effortlessly falls off my brush, or a student sends me his power point presentation about how he was influenced by my art, or someone on the other side of the world, likes my work enough to place it in his collection.
That is the payoff!
Thanks for reading my blog today!
