These wonderful little guys were so lively, they were hard to keep up with. The reference for this painting was taken when they finally stopped together long enough to get this great shot. It is so very special to be able to experience first hand these beautiful animals.

Now I have darkened overall and added a bit of warm tones and the beginnings of water detail. At this stage, the lights are muted but will be brought out again as the painting progresses and the detail is further developed. The little swimming turtle has been lost for the moment. (I promise to bring him back!)

Here is the beginning of a new turtle painting, approximately 8 x 3 1/2 inches. It is designed using one of our photo references that Rebecca used for her very well received "Turtle Jam" painting. This one will require 20 turtles though. (Can you find them all?
)
The foreground water will be much more developed in the painting.
Keep watching…..I plan to have this one done in a couple of months, hopefully much sooner!
Thanks for stopping by….

A new beginning……….It’s always fun to start a new painting, but this one is especially exciting! Not only do I get to paint BIG, but I also get to paint one of my favorite subjects – the Snow Leopard!! I already have a good start on it, so I will post a picture soon of the progress thus far.

We were lucky to capture this wolf walking in the water near Yellowstone National Park. A beautiful back light illuminated him and also caught the water dripping off of him, making him an irresistible subject to paint. This painting was auctioned at the Gilcrease Museum’s "American Art in Miniature" exhibition. It went for $1000. more than the asking price, a huge compliment to me and happily more for the Museum!
