Fresh Snow

Sorry I've not been diligent in my paintings. Trying to get myself set for the upcoming art season plus I have two large murals jobs starting soon. I promise to do better.

We've been enjoying nice weather in NH...cold but not much snow. I feel bad for those in D.C. who aren't used to such accumulations as they are really not prepared.

I am still enjoying the miniature paintings and will be marketing them this year. I am exploring lots of subject matter and find I love doing the tiny detail work.

Fearless Concentration

We've been lucky to have beautiful weather this week. Going out to paint today so, of course, it's overcast with rain expected. What a season this has been.

I've wanted to paint some animals for quite awhile. Decided to start with my favorite, the tiger. I was trying to get prey reflected in his eye but no matter how I approached it, I just couldn't get it right. More practice, I guess.

I start with very dark colors and work my way to light and then add the detail. I use a very old brush for the hairs and then paint more detailed hairs with a liner brush.
