Cooper Hawk Oil Painting

I'm thinking this is done...for now and maybe forever.  Going to give it some time.
So here it is oil on canvas.....The Morning Visitor...

More work on Cooper Hawk

Darn I think I've over worked this piece. Going to let this Cooper Hawk sit for a while.  See how it resonates with time.

Cooper Hawk..Oil on Canvas

Cow Moos small oil painting of Cows

This was fun. I used an undercoat of cad red medium. With pallet knife and oil paint I created this small 8 x 10 oil on canvas..."Cow Moos"  Sure not everything is correct and perfect...but I had fun.

The starts of Cricket our beloved cat

I'm working on drawings of animals past and present.  Here's one from today. Cricket our cat who is gone now....

Cow Painting continued

Almost done...Maybe done... Will ponder..

The result was the colors are more subdued. Which is what I wanted.

So here it is so far:
