Mountain lion painting

The work continues on the Mountain Lion. She was left undone as I addressed some serious personal loss.  So now I continue. The painting is 24" x 36" in oil. Not done yet...getting there.

Lynx Painting

It's difficult to work small...seems to be just as if not more challenging as working large.
So here's the Lynx on Wood...done mostly with pallet knife and some brush work.

9" x 12"

More work on the Lynx

The lynx work continues

We're having a disagreement...the painting and I.  I want to relinquish my control and let the painting speak...if it's not too late.

We'll see...

A Lynx painting

This is the starts of a Canadian Lynx oil on wood. I'm enjoying color.
After completing a few sketches and small color studies the Lynx painting begins.  The substrate is a cradled birch wood which has been coated with an amber shellac. Once again I'm working with pallet knives . So far here it is:

Bear's done

Ok, This bear is finished. 8*x 10"  oil on Birchwood.  " Westbound"

Bear start for the new year

Bear Painting start.

After a fairly large set back the end of last year, a loss of a loved one, mom, I am back to work.

I photographed this bear, Bruno, last September when I attended a wildlife workshop in Montana.

This is a small piece  an  8" x 10' oil on birchwood using pallet knife only that I am presently working on:

Mountain Lion Painting

What I'm working on now is a 24' x 36" oil of a mountain lion.  Today I brought the painting out of the studio and into the garden...Good exercise..  I was able to do some plein air painting on the foliage.
So this is where I am now...Much to do.
