If a doodle lives right, eats all its veggies, and cleans up its room…it gets to be a full-blown painting.
Reason for this one: I just like the way the word “aviatrix” sounds.

It’s settled: If I ever write a book, you’re doing the cover.

COOL! Will it have “aviatrix” in the title?
Or how ’bout “onomatopoeia”, or “flabbergast”? Also favorites of mine.

Could you please tell me what steps you took to paint this. Did you do the background first or the drawing then “colour it in” I am an extreme novice wanting to do my first painting. Not epecting to make a career of it but just want to know where to start without all the technicalities.

On most paintings I do a base drawing LIGHTLY on prepared (gessoed) canvas, then paint in the basic color areas beginning with the background. After I’ve put in all the large color areas, I go back in and begin adding detail.
I work mostly in acrylics for my larger paintings, so the technique is a bit different than if you work in oils. In acrylics, it’s generally better to start with lighter colors and build up the darker areas- a lot like watercolor.
Good luck with your painting. I’d love to see it when you’re finished. Do you have a blog?

Man o’ man I remember this one from way back when I house sat for you! Seems like it was still a work in progress at that time though (maybe not)
Oddly enough this painting runs (or flies) through my head on occasion.
My wife always says that I don’t like paintings with bright colors – now I can use this as evidence to the contrary – I remember stepping into the room and being assaulted by the sheer intensity of it!
Y’know a painting this colorful is VERY difficult to pull off without it just looking tacky.
Kudos Jeff – another job well done!
