Studio

I’ve been doing some studio rearranging today. :)

I will likely be working on another work in progress tonight.

Holiday Weekend

on

I hope everyone (at least those in the United States) is having a nice holiday weekend.  I am not taking time off —  but then, I get to do what I enjoy everyday. :)

I am working on some of my works in progress today.

Painting & Sketching…

on

Great egret - A quick rough sketch from Rebeccas sketchbookI decided to paint on one of my swan paintings that I have in progress — so I am doing my best to have that piece finished soon.

I have been sketching out a few ideas and subjects for new work — I’ve added one of them to this post.  This is a quick (rough) sketch (about 2"x3") of a great egret I studied a few years ago in Florida during one of our photoshoots in the state. :)

 

 

Onto the next project…

on

I just finished my Fox piece that I have been engrossed in for the past week or so.  I will be sending it off to my gallery later today.

Tonight I will have to decide what to work on for my next piece.  I’ll probably finish more work in progress vs. starting a new painting (at least for now :) ).

Almost Complete!

on

My Fox painting is just about finished — I should have it done by tomorrow afternoon or so. :)  I have been pulling some long hours and been up pretty late for the past few days , but I think it will be a much better painting for it.

Wildscape Magazine

on

Thanks so much to Wildscape Magazine!!  The UK based wildlife art magazine used a number of our paintings to illustrate an article about painting wildlife in miniature.  Very nice!! :)

Copycats Copy

on

I was just notified by a friend of mine that one of my watercolor paintings that I created last year, "Mist – Mute Swan" (pictured left), has been copied, plagiarized, by another artist.  

I find it very, very sad that a professional painter (who would know better) would choose to be so uncreative as to copy another artist’s work and ideas — not to mention the kind of role model a person like this is being to the next generation.  I am very disappointed and disgusted that we live in a world where adults behave in such an embarrassing manner.

Work in Progress

on

I am still working on finishing my work-in-progress.  It seems to be going well. :)

Midnight Oil…Um,.. Watercolor

on

I will be painting very late tonight…  (I guess you could call it very early too).  I am trying to finish one of my in-progress paintings (to meet a Thursday deadline).   Back to the easel…

Family Fun Shoot Event – Pheasants Forever & NWTF

on

Family Fun Shoot - Photography competition's grand prize winner and RebeccaI just returned from the Pheasants Forever and National Wild Turkey Federation’s "Family Fun Shoot".  It was great!!  I think everyone enjoyed the event.  We had a beautiful day for it too!!

I decided to paint a red fox kit for my quick draw/on the spot piece.  I finished the color sketch in a little under three hours.  The painting was used as the grand prize for the photography competition.  Congratulations to the winner!!  The photo he entered was very original and creative! :)
