Working on a beast of a painting today in my studio based on the Jasper Palisades - this piece is 24” x 48” oil on canvas 🖼 Though it has a long way to go, it has been so enjoyable sitting down and painting this magical space

I need to create more of the Rag Doll series. They were so fun and cheerful (and I use the clown one still as my avatar on my FB page)
