Duck Hunting - A Work in Progress
On the way into KAGS this morning I stopped to pick up a few of the cattails at the side of the road for the Still Life class since our theme today is duck hunting.
Bob brought in his camouflage hunting jacket and hat. Rather than bringing in some from his collection of ornamental decoys to have it more realistic he brought in a couple of his working decoys; one of a goose and the other of a duck.
Since it is illegal to bring in a real weapon he filled his rifle bag with cardboard of approximately the same shape and size as his rifle.
Lastly to complete the scene he brought in the most important thing to bring along when going hunting, a very large thermos of coffee.
I will post this painting at a later date once I have completed more of the painting.
Thank you for looking at my artwork.

Pine Tree 1 - A Work in Progress
One of my favourite things to see are pine trees silhouetted against the sky.
For as long as I have owned the property there was a pair of tall stately pines entwined together on the top of the hill on one of the back fields.
Unfortunately during in windstorm in July of last year one of them was no longer able to withstand the high winds and fell, leaving its companion standing all alone.
It seems so forlorn now. I started this painting of it from the opposite side than I see from the house.
I will post this painting at a later date once It is completed.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.

Waiting at the Gate - A Work in Progress
This is a sketch for another foal painting. It is of the time when the horses are all standing around by the gate to be brought into the barn for their evening meal.

I need to change the head on the foal as he looks a little jug headed, and I have to work out how I will put in the gate rails and fence posts.
I will post this sketch at a later date once it is ready to be transferred to the watercolour paper.
