Stalled work
Unfinished paintings...we all have some of these hanging around. I don't know how interest wanes in one painting vs. another..but this one just never saw completion...it's still in the studio and maybe, just maybe I'll unearth it and with renewed vigor send this one over the finish line!

I just made some "Winter Birds" card sets that contain 2 each of these 4 images for a total of 8 cards for $21.95 plus $3.05 S/H...I've put a buy it now button at the end of this post...so let me know if you'd like a pack of these cards just in time for the Holidays! They are 5"x7" blank cards with a photographic image of my paintings on the front, packaged in a clear plastic box.

Cherry time
Who knew there were tons and tons of cherry trees around Flathead Lake in Montana? Well I didn't and I was so surprised...we were there a bit early for the harvest...but the red clusters in the trees were just gorgeous. Funny enough the ones I sketched were cherries bought from a farm stand harvested in Washington State!

multi view
This is from my sketchbook...a multi image of a friend's german shepherd...actually the dog thought he was a retriever...could not get enough of you throwing pine cones for him to run and get! I try these multi views either with the figure or whatever else, but find it's hard to superimpose one over the other...there are some artists out there who do this beautifully!

draw with color
I thought I'd take you back to a couple posts ago when I was talking about drawing with your brush and colors instead of with a pencil. This was from Mel's workshop and was my underdrawing. Here you can see that you vary the colors of your lines and aim to have them show through in the finished work. Different, but fun to try.

Cabin fever
One more Montana post today...This was the house our friends rented..the little cabin from a couple posts ago is another building on the property where we stayed...all snug, in amongst the trees. I buy multi-media sketchbooks, but sometimes cover the outside with handmade papers or a map of the area etc.. It makes the journal less generic and more personal.

Campfire
I guess I'm on a sketchbook kick...this was of the same Montana trip of a campfire looking at Flathead Lake. Now that Lake is cold...hence I did not go in it except for a few toes! I rather enjoyed painting it and looking at it. It's time to revive my kitchen journal and start some ambitious paintings in the studio...stay tuned!
