Plein Air

Well I got four paintings done this week. All were morning paintings And the only reason I had time to do them at all is cause everyone slept till noon everyday giving me alone time each day.

Bird & Flowers

I've also done some simple flower studies. I think they are quite nice actually. It was fun to use more colors than just green and brown.

Character Studies

I'm working on a series of illustrations for a new book I'm writing ...which I haven't named yet, but it involves birds (of course) and small people.

The first bird is a humming bird named Flitwing.
Barley is waving in the corner
The second is a Frigate bird named... Frigate.
The third is a bird called a Sheerwaters. Which of course is what I named her also.

Feeding Ducks

I've been to Parowan a lot. The duck pond there is one of my favorite spots. I look forward to my bread going stale just to give myself as excuse to go. I must admit I have popped several bags of popcorn and took it to them fresh, so really I need no excuse to get away. Here is a painting of three of them. I call it 'The Locals'.

Also here's a photo of the gaggle coming in for lunch:)

This is the worst of the photo's but it is my favorite one:) That's it for today. I hope to have another triptych done of the gray goose by Tuesday so look for it. I know I am:) I can't wait to see how it turns out myself.
