The title is in celebration of being laid off due to reorganization. The red apple needs to start looking for a new canvas. i really wanted to work with contrasts today. I had been admiring the value structure in a painting by Rembrandt.

# 200: Loosey Goosey

6" x 6" oil on canvas

I love painting my little goose. It is always a fun challenge. The black vase...not so much. There is so much going on with the reflection on the surface that I forget about the form. I also got a little distracted with painting my own reflection. Can you tell that it is me sitting back there?

# 199: Window Shopper

6"x 6" oil on canvas

I enjoyed trying to get the distortion right, but in the process lost the position of the ears. Piggy has so much personality, he is never tiresome.

Another simple colorful painting to uplift the mood

# 197: Pinocchio

6" x 6" oil on canvas

I took on a challenge of distortion through glass with a tight crop where you cannot see the glass. The problem is that there is not enough distortion and through the glass and so who knows what is really going on?

# 196: Across the Line

6" x 6" oil on canvas

my real job got a little complicated this week and so I decided to paint something simple and refreshing and you know it did help me feel better! 

Since was listening to the Olympics while painting it turned into a race

# 195: Black Shoes

6" x 6" oil on canvas

I wanted to work mostly with value and so picked my black shoes to paint on a neutral background. I am not sure if the painting is balanced. The left shoe looks like it is ready to get going.
