The “Eleven” Series
#2-“Yellow Rectangles”-Oil on Canvas, 8” x 10” Craig L Haupt
Though nimble in design, these 11 small paintings share a related element with most paintings/drawings I’ve worked with, in that they still originate from ‘Doodles’ in my Sketch Books.
Of note, during the past week I received final approval for a spot in an upcoming Group Exhibit at Y:Art Gallery to show these 11 small paintings.
A little ways off, I will still include the Exhibition dates and related information with each Monday Art posting and will Share their FB Event posting as it becomes available.

I really like this — it has the flavor of your other paintings yet has a unique angle of its own.
Thanks Claudia, appreciate the comment!
You know I am one of your biggest fans!
The shading on your painting this week is interesting. Sometimes your orange figure seems to “pop out” of the background. When I look again it seems to be the blue background instead. Your work is always fun to look at.
Congratulations on your acceptance into the
Y:Art Gallery Show !
Thanks Sherry, the shading I’m working with is trying to create that exact effect. For lack of a better term, it is giving me a ‘quilted’ effect. Several of the paintings in this series have various degrees of this shading and as I get to like it, it has found it’s way into a few of the paintings in the second half of the 12 + 12 project. Always welcome your comments.
