Red Pears

Here is the red pear still life after I was able to put some time into it. Hopefully it will come together in the next couple of days.

Short eared owl

Here is a study of a short eared owl, done in watercolor. These little guys are mostly quiet at night and don't spend much time this far south except in winter, so the hooting I hear at night in the woods is probably the resident great horned owl. I met this one in Idaho and snapped his picture at the fish and game event he was attending. I like the alert and serious expression on his face. Such an elegant creature. Sold.

OK, I agree that a blog that sits for 2 whole weeks without a new post is duller than dirt. So ready or not here is an image of a new still life I've started. I'll be working on it around other projects and will post updates as it progresses.

Mono Lake Landscape

Well, it's done, or at least very close. I'll look at it for awhile and see if it wants anything else before I begin the varnishing process.
