watercolor on Rives BFK approximately  11"x8.5"

What would Scooby Do? oil on canvas, 24"x48"

This is based on the The Thematic Apperception Test, or TAT, is a projective measure intended to evaluate a person's patterns of thought, attitudes, observational capacity, and emotional responses to ambiguous test materials. In the case of the TAT, the ambiguous materials consist of a set of cards that portray human figures in a variety of settings and situations. The subject is asked to tell the examiner a story about each card that includes the following elements: the event shown in the picture; what has led up to it; what the characters in the picture are feeling and thinking; and the outcome of the event.  So watch out what you write or maybe someone will think you're nuts!

What Would Scooby Do?

Seriously why did we have to watch that horrid film, 

All I wanted to do was get in my pajamas and nestle next to Daph, 

Hmmm, That image definitely fits under the category as sin, 

Live, Laugh, but why am I getting turned on with her breathing cinnamon on my back, 

"Perhaps, we should investigate the hallway downstairs," asks Freda

Honestly, I ponder, I just want to see her clue,

What to Doo?

People sent me some captions for a painting.

I love it when people make up stories or come up with captions that tell me what they think one of my paintings is about.  My friend Shannon sent me a couple of captions about this painting titled 
"After the Game." oil on canvas 30"x24"x.5"
  (You can buy this painting for $250 if you like.)

"not looking, not looking, not looking....”

"nice shoes."

“Michelle did not think Brad had that much to be excited about”

“In retrospect, Ralphie could see that the post game surprise he’d planned for Lucy wasn’t such a great idea after all.”

 

I have been remiss! So, announcing the winners.

I'm sorry that I got behind in a bunch of work. I know that I owe people some drawings and I need to post some new caption and or fiction contests.


The last two winners of the caption contests are:
