Rubber bunny
I love this vintage bunny's personality and his wonderful sculptural quality. I just recently discovered the amazing artist J.C. Leyendecker, and I was inspired by his style as I painted this. There's a great exhibit of Leyendecker's work at the Haggin Museum in Stockton going on right now -- I highly recommend it!

Creamer and apple slices
Here's another step in my quest to paint a little more realistically, without losing my own quirky vision. I hope you like it!

Minx
Our model at the figure sketching group this week was Susan Monson, a beautiful actress and creative spirit. Susan invented three characters for us, complete with elaborate costumes and personalities that inspired her poses. This character is "Minx", a voluptuous platinum blonde all decked out in bright red lace, satin and feathers. Our fearless leader, Big Al Lopez, invited a fantastic jazz group to serenade us and the evening was pure fun!

Vaudie
Our model at Lynn Peterson's studio this week was Vaudie VaVoom, a beautiful dancer and actress. She fell into this lovely Odalisque pose that was a joy to paint.

White star on white
Here's a new one in my "White Star" series, this time a study in white-on-white. It was a joy to find all of the beautiful pastel colors reflecting in the star's facets.

My little piggy
This was inspired by the "Paint Your Pig" challenge on Daily Paintworks. My pig is fun and functional -- he's a tape measure! It seemed like he needed a little pedestal to sit on so I posed him on a palette cup.
