I’ve taken my Bird on Bike and plunged him into the throes of winter!

Bird Complete
3.25 x 5.25″ Watercolor and pencil on paper
I finally finished up my bird and am, overall, pretty pleased with the little guy. Part of me wishes I had really saturated the belly and head with color, and then transitioned out to pencil. This feels a little too expected for my taste. Maybe next time!

One In Progress, One Done
3.25 x 5.25″ watercolor and pencil work in progress
I’ve been working on two very different pieces. I finished up the abstract piece today and have a smidge left yet on the bird. The hard lines of the abstract guy are a bit of a different approach for me. Good to get out of my comfort zone, I s’pose.

A Little Realism – Work in Progress
3.25 x 5.25″ Pencil on paper
It’s relatively rare, but from time to time I do work on art that is more realistic. I typically end up enjoying the finished product and like the challenge of having to look more closely at my subject. This got me wondering why I don’t do it more often. Perhaps I’ll start.
Getting Back into the Swing of Things

The heater died in our RV/house, Gertrude a bit over a week ago. Because we live in Colorado, and because taking a ’94 Winnebago to get its heater fixed was probably not the easiest thing, and because if we did take Gertie to get fixed we would have no place to live, we moved out. Funny enough we are not at all sad and the 650 sq ft place we’re in now feels like a mansion!
And now that we’re settled in, I enjoyed a good chunk of time to work on more “Art for Good” rewards.

Beginnings of a Sketchbook Page
It’s been awhile since I’ve sat down with the ol’ sketchbook. There is plenty to be added to the page, but I’m liking where it’s headed.
Mountain Range
32 x 48″ Acrylic on Wood
The Mountain Range painting is finished! I opted to keep the wood grain peeking through as it was really interesting to me. I’m hoping the guys in the research and development lab will feel the same.

A Bit More Progress
32 x 48″ Acrylic on Wood
I’m getting ever closer on finishing this acrylic on wood painting! It will hang in a research and development lab when complete. Let’s hope it inspires some creative thinking.

Big Guy Revisited – Work in Progress
6′ x 3.5′ Acrylic on canvas
I hope everyone has enjoyed a wonderful holiday season! My holiday in Mexico was pretty miserable. It’s hard to deal with great company, warm weather and excellent food (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). My absenteeism from blogging can be blamed on the aforementioned.
The large piece above is one I created over a year ago and have never really loved. I decided it needed to be re-done, so this is step one.
Mountain Range in Blue and Teal
Work in Progress, 32 x 48″, Acrylic on wood
I’ve been commissioned to create a painting that will live in a window-less R&D lab. The parameters are that it needs to be colorful, abstract and affordable as there is not a ton of money left in the “original art budget” for the company. As a more affordable option, I decided to paint on some wood that my studio neighbor offered me, and have determined it was a great choice. I love teh areas where wood grain peeks through.
