End of the Day Row

8 x 10 oil on stretched canvas

Extra points to anyone who can identify the location of this painting - there are several small changes made in this scene, but overall, the location may be recognizable. Also extra points to anyone who can identify the 3 rowers. I posted this painting although I'm not 100% convinced it is done. In fact, deciding when a painting is complete is one of the biggest challenges for me at the moment (kind of like how I follow Dave and Finley around the house for several days after I cut their hair in search of the elusive long pieces). The colors are slightly more vibrant in the actual painting.

Lobsta

Here's this weeks painting. I seem to be able to complete about 1 per week. After just a few days in Maine at the beginning of the month, we're already missing the water and of course the seafood. The blue lobster is a rarity, but it is nevertheless beautiful, especially when artistic license allows for the addition of purples and reds!

This lobster is similar to the pair I painted for my sister "Lobsters."

Just Feathering Out

8 x 10 oil on stretched canvas

Here is one of our girls when she was just getting her big-girl feathers. The newest additions to our family are 5 (female) chickens. This painting is of Fiona, our Partridge Plymouth Rock when she was just a few weeks old. Now at 5 months, the chickens aren't laying eggs yet, but the twins eagerly run to the chicken tractor each morning to check just in case. Fiona is now a deep red color with black markings. The chickens provide endless entertainment, and Fiona is particularly feisty, often mistaking fingers for worms.
