Here is a break from my BIRD PROJECT...a recent study from a visit to the Texas coast...this little complex is on Copano Bay, where my friends Caro and Don live. I got a nice photo of it as the last orange rays of the sun hit the building. My high school art class picked this photo for me to do as a  teaching demo to show them some things about oil painting. They told me later that they picked a complex photo, hoping to stump me....HA!

Happy New Year!!!

Dale Nicholls is the great regional painter from this area, who made it big in the art world.
Now deceased, this was his family's home, and this type of barn is rare and unique...It is a treasure in Butler County, NE, and we had to have special permission to bring the workshop here for me to paint this study.
My aim was to NOT get tight and paint every board on the barn, and when I do another version, I will emphasize the scale more with some more people or equipment...see the little man by the door on the left? He is too BIG for this scale...the barn is HUGE!!!
I have a few more things to post from my workshop, but for the past few days, I have been working in some of the high schools here, speaking and demonstrating and introducing them to my Chicken Clinic...Great kids here, and a LOT of fun!
See my entire exhibit Passing America: The Great Plains
Next workshop: Fredericksburg, TX, Nov 9-11...FULL MOON FUN! vvaughan8@yahoo.com
