"Warming Up"


Ever since the loss of my dog Dusty I've had the biggest "painter's block" I've ever had.  I decided tonight to do a painting of Dusty hoping that would help me break through whatever emotions are keeping me from wanting to paint again...  I just couldn't do it.  I looked at some photos and took them into the studio and just wasn't ready.  So instead I painted from a reference photo of a friend's dog (thanks Tavey)...  hoping to get out of this funk soon.  I know Dusty wouldn't let anything keep him from being himself - I'm hoping to follow his example.
