Mosca in the Doorway

9.5 x 10.5 - Acrylic on gessoed cardboard

I accomplished two goals with this little study: I did a value study for a commission, and managed to enter the DPW Challenge for (sigh) last week.  Very worthwhile effort.  I learned more than I expected to and I'm hoping the finished painting benefits.

Unrepentant Thief

Minor adjustments captured this rascal in his shameless efforts.  I've moved on to other subjects, but I'd like to revisit raccoons.  They're captivating - even if they are mean!  

I'm attempting some of the weekly and monthly challenges issued by the DailyPainter websites.  If you're a burgeoning artist, check them out.  The challenge on DPW is a learning experience, and quite helpful. The process exposes you to other artists who inspire with their composition skills, palettes, and brushwork.
