Open Air Market - A Work in Progress

It is an extremely cold day today with the temperature sitting at -18F (-27.8C) and the wind chill making it feel like a biting -40F (-40C).

Heading down to the barn to do chores was not a a lot of fun, but the horses and cats were happy to see me, as were all the wild birds that come to my feeders and the flock of snow buntings that do not stray far from the house and enjoy an easy food supply.














After having breakfast and relaxing with a hot cup of tea it was time to get my things together and start working on a drawing of an open air market with crowds of Saturday morning bargain hunters wandering through the stalls.

I will post this piece at a later date once I have the sketch completed and start to apply paint.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork.

Craft Show - A Work in Progress

This is another piece I started in the Doug Mays Workshop. While his painting was of an open market in France I decided to do something closer to home and did one of the open markets here in Lakefield.

I have most of the background painted in and now have to decide where I want to have the rest of the people and what to put into each of the stalls.

I will post this painting at a later date once more of it is completed.
