Kipper


Sometimes I forget that I can do little paintings without all the details that can take days to finish.  I can splash on colors that suggest flowers and a dog, lift out a few highlights, add a few darks, and it's done.  I debated about making the flower pot (behind Kipper's head) darker. The browns of the pot and Kipper's head were done at the same time in the first wash. I decided to let it alone - the less 'messed with' the painting is, the fresher it looks.
