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!!!

Harbor FLight___24x18 oil on linen___for Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, unless you want it first

I have been in the studio this week, preparing for upcoming shows and travels. The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition is in Charleston, SC each year and I am almost finished preparing for it. This one is actually a "study" for a larger canvas I am working on...I like working out problems in paint. When I finish the study, I usually "wish there was more"....all the time spent "in the scene" FINALLY comes together at the end and it's hard to "put down the brush" (If you are an artist, you KNOW......this is why we sometimes OVERWORK a painting). Rather than overworking, I prefer to just do another one, to "FINISH" the mood! It's sort of like reading a good book or getting engrossed in a good movie. Just when you get into the story and the characters, the movie ends!....This painting has not "ended" for me, yet....there will be a sequel! :) HAPPY NEW YEAR!
