Foil Bunny, Marbles #6

Right now… last weekend I started the big foil bunny painting. This is quite an undertaking (the canvas is 60″ x 69″ and the image is heavy on detail), but so far it’s a whole lot of fun:

I also had it in my head that I was going to do another small Marbles painting while I was working on this one, just to have a nice distraction on the side. I really like how Marbles #3 turned out, and thought I’d do another one that size. However, once I got to looking at my proofs and that big ol’ blank 50″ x 48″ canvas in front of me, I decided to just go for it and do another big one.

So needless to say, my studio is a little bit cramped these days…

Marbles #5, 99% finished

Marbles #5–unfinished

Okay, maybe it’s only ninety-EIGHT percent finished… ah whatever, like you can tell from this photo!

This painting will hopefully be finished this week. I really pushed myself to wrap it up in an efficient and timely manner—to the point where I do believe I actually gave myself a migraine on Saturday morning. Fun fun fun.

Next up: The gold foil bunny This one will be huge-ish (60″ x 69″), so I’m expecting it to take a little while. Very excited to get started on it.
