Abbie Learns Tolerance

Oil 32″ x 42″

There are moments of conflict in the minds of all artists. In my case, “Should I paint a person or some animals?” was a question I asked my muse when faced with yet another white, blank canvas. Why not paint both?

I surrounded Abbie with assorted furred and feathered attendees, and noticed she wasn’t pleased with the composition. She is barely putting up with the situation.“For God’s sake, Abbie! Learn some tolerance, why don’t you?” and so this painting was born.
