Happy Friday!

Hope everyone is gearing up for a fun weekend.  Since I didn't want to see that same artwork all weekend, I thought I would post this recent practice piece...



Looks like water is a recurring theme in my work. I got a bit wonky on the head of this bird, and it looks like those bird creatures in the cartoons. I was trying to make it's feathers stand out a bit, but he does look a bit furry, doesn't he? 

Anyway, that's what's on my easel this week. Perhaps I will change things up a bit next week.  I have been taking lots of reference photos of the trees around my house.  I really like to draw and paint trees. Who knows, maybe I'll try my hand at some wildlife next time.

In the mean time, have a great weekend, get ready for Thanksgiving and try not to over indulge.

Wonky...heeehehhe...I learned a new word today! :o)

I love the shadowed painting and personally do not think the crane's (storks) head looks one bit wonky!

Ya'll have a beautifully blessed weekend sweetie!

Thanksgiving...we have 35-38 comin' to the Ponderosa.

I like the picture! The bird looks less furry than it does ruffled. I think it must have ruffled its feathers a couple of times while hunting at the pond..when it tucks its head to go to sleep all will settle down. I like the shadowy feel a lot. Bravo.
