If you would like to see more of the turtle paintings for the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre by members of the Buckhorn Artists' Group. I have posted them to the Group's blog page.

Here's Looking at You

This 8" x 10" acrylic painting (see yesterday's posting) is pretty much finished. I may add a little more detail to the turtle after I leave it overnight and look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow.

The painting is being donated to "The Art of the Turtle" Auction. This is a fundraiser for the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre and will be held on 14 May 10, at the Peterborough Public Library Auditorium, 345 Aylmer Street North, Peterborough, Ont.















All these pieces works will be sold by silent auction. The event takes place from 7-10pm, with extended viewing beginning at 6pm. The silent auction will be ongoing followed by the live auction at 9pm. SOLD

Thank you for looking at my artwork.

Here's Looking at You - A Work in Progress

Today I spent the afternoon over at Heather's house and we worked on our turtle paintings for "The Art of the Turtle". Artists were given an 8" x 10" canvas to create a painting featuring a turtle.

All paintings will be auctioned to raise money for the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre.















My first piece didn't come out quite the way I wanted, although it will become landscape painting and will post it at a later date.

So I had to start over on a new canvas and try a different way to create the turtle with a different background which seemed to work better at placing the turtle in a pond.

This is my painting about half way finished. It is still very rough, but should work out better than my original painting.
