Summertime

Although today is overcast with the promise of more rain and thunderstorms in the forecast it is a wonderful 72F (22C) with a breeze blowing which helps keep the mosquitoes away.

I received confirmation yesterday that one of my paintings "Through the Storm" (see posting on 19 April 2013) was accepted for the juried show at The Lindsay Gallery which is held 03-26 June 2014.

I wanted to paint today and came across this painting in my portfolio of a Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) that I had started many years ago.  It didn't need a lot of work for it to be finished as there were only that a few wild grape leaves on the fence rail that needed their final layer of colour.

After a couple hours of work on those leaves and a few other spots throughout the painting I was finally happy with the results.

I will continue to post the painting I finish each day during the course of the month. I hope you will return often to see the postings.

This original 15" x 22" watercolour painting when framed will be available for $1,480.00.
