4 Paws Southwest – 5″ x 5″ Acrylic on Black Gessoed Aquaboard
This is the view (from my brain) to the southwest of my wonderful 4 Paws vacation cabin in
Driggs, Idaho.
What a wonderful place! I haven’t worked on paintings like this for a
while and I enjoy the process so much. I used Golden Fluid Acrylics
and apply many, many layers before they are done.
Here is the progress shots…
These little paintings really look better in natural light, but you kinda get the gist.
About Abigail Van Buren
Pauline Phillips,
better known as Abigail Van Buren, wrote the syndicated “Dear Abby”
column for 46 years. She was born in 1918 in Iowa. She had never written
professionally when she contacted the
San Francisco Chronicle‘s
editor and said she could do better than their current advice maven.
Her version was an instant success. Her twin sister, Esther Lederer,
became an advice columnist under the name Ann Landers. Phillips retired
in 2002; her daughter, Jeanne Phillips, took over her column.
