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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

They climb their way up
And over
Unsure of where they’re headed
But happy to be moving

The clouds show a crack in their armor
As sky breaks through
And reeds below have a taste of the sun
