Finished or not
Creek Chub Baby Plunker, 1930's - 1940's vintage original transparent watercolor Arches 140 lb CP 8" x 10" Spent most of the day in the yard today. No rain for a change led to a long day cutting grass and pulling weeds. But still, I really have wanted to paint this old Creek Chub lure that I found at a yard sale a while back. This is a 1930's vintage, perhaps as late as 1940. I sat the old lure down on my studio table and imagined the bucket-mouths that have been reeled in with this classic old lure.

This is another of my cat paintings. I seem to do a lot of them. There are at least three more that I've sketched up in the last few days. Weird thing is, I'm a dog person. As a matter of fact, there are four dogs in the studio here with me as I finished painting this. No cats. This is actually one of Larry's barns, from his farm down the road. I've painted his cats before.
I'm pretty sure this one is finished, but I might tinker with it some more in a few days. If you would like to purchase this piece, contact kurtplinke@kurtplinke.com for information.

"Walking Away" by Kurt Plinke waxed watercolor arches 140 lb cp 14" x 18" image size I have not painting much that I've been happy with in a while. In fact, I haven't painted much at all in quite some time. Too many distractions... teaching school being the main one. It seems I just haven't made the time to finish anything. The less I paint, the less I like what I do manage to paint.
This one is an exception though and has me motivated to paint more and more. I guess that is my Summer-Off Resolution. Paint more, and paint every day. Let's see how it goes. A little about the actual painting: This is a painting of my wife as she walks a farm lane near our house. I was far behind her, and loved the way her pink jacket contrasted with the dark pthalo green trees across the field.
