Layla II 9" x 12" Oil on Canvas Panel NFSFor purchase information: diane@dianehoeptner.com
Despite what my sister will tell you I'm not a crazy cat lady . Here's our Layla again. She's sitting on a child's chair my husband and I acquired at a country auction. The chair is covered in chippy green paint-- and it had a really warm evening light on it--Maybe there's too much indian red on the chair and kitty ear. Besides that and a few other details-- I'm actually happy with this one.

Valiant Effort

This old wood Pinocchio doll is very beat up. His hair is broken off in front, where you can see a bit of yellow wood. He's chipped and dinged up pretty good... I'd like to do an all Pinocchio Brady Bunch-Inspired grouping of portraits. But don't cha know, I have have more ideas than time these days. Still experimenting with ways to do underpaintings....and making a valiant (if not successful) stab at staying LOOSE with brushwork.

Not Enough Time in the Day

Glutton for Pain

I'm either a glutton for pain or I have something to prove. Probably a little of both. I keep re-working this painting of my cat. It's getting there.
