Ducks Unlimited Canada

Well, today I sent in all my entries for the Ducks Unlimited Canada Art Portfolio Competition. I have been planning to enter for the last year and have fulfilled my goal for this year.

It took a long time to do the paintings and I appreciate all the permission slips I received to use photo references for the competition. I can rest easy now and concentrate on day to day painting.

I'll keep my fingers crossed and see what happens.

Sorry for the delay, I'll update the goose tonight. I'm struggling with a portrait at the moment. :)

A goose.

OK....I know I haven't posted in a long time!

I can't show you what I've been working on, but I have more time to work on a second one while each stage of the other one is drying.
I am starting to block in the goose in "Canada Goose", and blocking in the ground.


Also, this is step one from "Lantern", a piece I am painting to pass the time at our weekly "Open Studio" to greet the public at the Porcupine Art Club.


More tomorrow.

Yes, I'm still here. :)

I'm still alive, even if I haven't posted recently. I'm working on a painting that I can't show on the internet, so you will have to bear with me. Next week, I will finish up the fox painting, " Good Morning" and either "Deer At Night", or the heron painting.

I held a computer workshop last night, through the Porcupine Art Club, to teach older artists how to use the computer to help their art businesses. I'm doing this free of charge with the help of GCF Learning. A source for free computer training.

I started with a Computer Basics slide show and will go on to teach, Operating Systems, such as Windows, and then Adobe Photoshop for artists which will be my own lessons.

I have agreed to give this Basic Computer workshop, again, through the Timmins Museum as part of the Porcupine Art Club's 60 Anniversary celebrations. We are trying to include the public in our celebrations and all of our summer workshops are free.

So, until next week.
