Bear Paintings

I've begun painting a series of small Bear studies. Working on color, shape and not so much detail.
This is Meatball the L.A. bear that was rescued by Lions Tiger and Bears... Here he is early morning enjoying the beginning of a new day.

Pumpkin update...Rabbit painting

I'm hanging on complete. Perhaps just a little bit more and the painting is done

Creating  a painting that tugs at the heart strings and emotes such happiness is a great experience.

PEPPERMINT PUMPKIN

Peppermint Pumpkin triptych

I have decided to work on a subject that gives me much joy and happiness with a dose of sadness . Peppermint Pumpkin was the source of great joy and happiness in my life, although her stay was brief every second was filled with happiness and wonder. She died suddenly of a rare disease that kills rabbits. It is a disease that is fatal to rabbits. There is no cure here in America. It is transmitted by mosquitoes.

myxomatosis

Here's the start...

Maybe done The Eviction

It's always a bit of a decision to end a journey...
Like when is it done is the big question.

So here, maybe this is done.

Still going the Lion Painting....The Eviction

More work. I'm bringing the pieces together. Continuing the story.
Moving slowly.

Leaves falling, symbolizing the fall of a great species. Rural development, land being taken away.

The Eviction continues

This painting is taking time and that's ok. It's aproximately 65" x 57" , kinda large.
I'm enjoying the process.
Here it is so far.

The lion painting continues

Here's the progress so far.
Great challenges here and I get to use my imagination more.
This is good.
