Welcome friends, it's a Gorge-ouse morning!

I got my camera set up on my tripod in the middle of the creek, set my composition, and these folks climbed up into my picture!

After the deluge

This wildflower is the size of a U.S. nickel.

Peek-a-boo Sun

Sun reflection on pond behind reeds, taken two days ago.

Goodnight Sun...

Goodnight Sun, goodnight Lady Cayuga, goodnight driftwood, goodnight sky, goodnight Suzie Seagull...

Sailboats and Lady Cayuga

Two of my favorite subjects playing together.

So many water-y images, this is the latest..

OiL PukER iN progrESS

This is my oil puker dude. This is the 2nd and final sketch of him --- much will be added to him... above and below... and he will be cut out of sketchbook and glued to canvas.
This image (and the rest of the composition not included here yet) came into my head when I went to bed one night -- and I had to get up and sketch it out before I could sleep!






Base colors of one of the wood canvas mixed-media pieces.I have a Blue Heron planned for this one.
The Blue Heron flew directly over my head a few days ago just as I was running across a bridge.

Both undone --- in-process. I'd LOVE to see what everyone else is working on :)

Watery Vision

Ok so this is what has been keeping me up until 3 am these past few weeks. These are not paintings but altered photo images I have taken with some painting done in photoshop ... not sure if these pieces are finished yet - they are still talking to me.

I am also working on another actual painting ... that is really not behaving, so it sits unfinished until I can figure out what comes next.
