I painted this in December 2007 and never have been happy with it. One day I lightened the dark head and added some color. Today I did some finishing touches and finally have a prettier bird perched on the birch.

Flowers

As the weather gets colder and winter approaches, I thought it would be nice to post some spring flowers. The reference photo for the crocus was taken in Farmington, CT, by my friend Sherry Perrie. I took the photo for the pansies in Rheinbeck, NY.

I finished Sophie this week and my customer seems very happy. This photo was taken when it was cloudy out and she looks better in the sun.

I finally finished this painting. It started as a plein air painting in July at Loon Lake in the Adirondacks. I do not excel at plein air painting. The painting is only complete because it is a gift to our friend Jeff who lets us stay at his lovely camp, and this is the painting that he wanted. Many hours in the studio pretty much salvaged this attempt at a plein air painting. Jeff says he likes it so I guess that is all that matters.

Sophie, the next German Shepherd is close to being done!
