Rooster finish

I finally finished the rooster this week. My studio mate thinks I should do a companion piece so there will be a pair. Not sure, will think about it as this was just supposed to be a demo for my class. I have gone back to working on the gaggle of geese and finishing up some older paintings.

More rooster

I finally returned to my studio this week after a long Christmas break. I am trying to finish this rooster, but had to put him down to let the tail feathers set up for a few days before working on them again. I hope to finish him on Monday. I am taking a break from most shows this year in order to concentrate more on building a new body of work. That's the plan anyway.

WIP - rooster

I started this for a demo for my class and then put it aside. Then the week before Open Studios, I thought I should finish it and put it in the bin. No such luck, but am working to finish it now as it was very popular and probably could have sold it 5 times over. Oil Pastels on green colorfix.

Open Studios

Our 20th Open Studio event will take place this Sat. & Sun. Nov. 19 & 20, noon - 5pm.  I am in the ET Wright building along with 50+ artists and there are 20 artists in a neighboring building. Red balloons lead the way between the buildings. Free parking, entertainment, refreshments and artists of every discipline. Gallery show, works for sale and demos. An event not to be missed.

Another goose

Here is a second geese painting, oil pastel on sand colorfix about 9 x 12. I am finished for now as I need to start matting paintings and prints, put cards together and then start cleaning the studio....eeek!
I still need to do a little tweaking around the geese heads as that is where I changed my mind and scraped out the background.

Geese

I have been trying to get ready for Open Studios, which is in a few weeks, so I decided I would so some small painting s for it. This is the first....Some Canada Geese. We have them on our pond a lot.

Finished?

I haven't had much time to do a lot of painting. Putting up apples from our tree and trying to put the garden to bed for the winter. However, I do think this is just about finished with maybe a little tweaking to do. I really do need to get busy to get ready for our big Open Studio event next month.
