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!

I finally finished another painting! I completed this today and have already started another using the same reference photo, which I took at Loon Lake in July. (See July post about Loon Lake.) They are Mallard Ducks.


I have been busy having giclee prints made and producing new note cards. This involved a bit of traveling, as well as folding, packaging, and distributing. My newest note cards are: Cardinal, Tanager, Hummingbird with Thistle, Broad-billed Hummingbird, Costa's Hummingbird, Goldfinch with Flower, Crocus, Delicate Arch and Lava Canyon. Cards are $2.50 each with discounts for larger quantities. Wholesale price is $1.25. I now have 47 different note cards, which are all listed on my web site, except for these latest additions.

I plan on finishing the Neushwanstein Castle at some point, as well as at least one of three plein air paintings of Loon Lake as seen from my friend's camp. I better get painting!

Jeff shot the reference photo for this painting at Omega Institute in Rheinbeck, NY. I loved the photo and had to paint this. It sold at my first solo show, in April 2006.

Today I got a beautiful corn snake for my son from Freecycle. The snake is friendly and gorgeous and even came with a huge and well equipped cage. Leif is thrilled. Gregory will make a lovely subject for a watercolor.

I finished this commissioned painting today after about 40 hours of painting over 3 1/2 weeks. The reference is shown in the July 6 post. I sure am glad it is done! Now I need to get it to the Adirondacks, possibly after having Giclee prints made first.
