Here's what I consider an everyday figure. I think it would be interesting to do some portraits/figures of people (mostly women) going through normal daily activities in keeping with the "art of the ordinary" theme I've tried to keep going since I started painting.

This is a fairly quick little portrait of my daughter's cat. I've never done a pet portrait, but the reference photo jumped out at me when my daughter posted it somewhere on social media. The lighting, colors and personality of the cat all came together. Maybe I'll try some more. It turned into a nice gift for my daughter's birthday yesterday.

An older Jeep Cherokee Chief. Successfully kept it a little loose. But, I think the photo is a bit dark.

A still life of another pair of my wife's shoes. She buys shoes about as often as I buy brushes or paint and many of them are pretty sexy, visually appealing and worthy of paintings. The problem is I rarely take the time to shoot reference photos of them. And, before you know it she's worn them out or gotten tired of them and tossed them without me getting a chance to shoot them. So, last December when I was given a mandatory vacation from my job of 22 years I took the opportunity to shoot a bunch of her shoes for future paintings. I think this is the first pair I've painted, but there are more to come.
