Get creative with me!
I’ve just completed the underpainting on this Great Blue Heron that I began (ahem) last year. This is one that I’ve procrastinated that needs a lot of detail work yet, so it really was imperative that I get this underpainting completed so that I can spend some quality time with this piece once my other show pieces are ready. It’s 18″ wide by 36″ tall, an awesome size for this bird painting.

I just completed this lovely figurative portrait of Carol and Jerry – beautiful people, they are. This is an 8×10 oil painting on a canvas panel. My palette on this portrait – believe it or not – is the same as that of my animal paintings adding cerulean blue (Erikie’s favorite).
Truly a challenging piece for me, since I don’t paint too many people, but it’s another of those paintings where the emotion of the piece is more overwhelming than the intimidation of the challenge.
Still up for approval (so there may be minor revisions), I’ll post this final scan once it’s all done, dry & varnished.

I did a pretty darn good color match (on my monitor, at least) of her portrait. I’m excited to scan her and show you her teeth, and nose – and eye! Details on her painting – this is a custom oil painting (of course) of my clients sweet yellow lab on a 12×16 stretched canvas. (I photographed her for her portrait, as well.)
She’s a pretty girl. I’ll post those final scan detail shots when she’s dry. Until then – enjoy!
