Break Time

Took a short break from painting...and painted.

A quick watercolor study of Samson the Wonder Shih Tzu.

Leaving

Started some of the leaf work in the foreground...

Every Picture Tells A Story

...and there's one with this one, it'll unfold as the painting does.

Sunrise, water, leaves and more.

Just underway.

Racked Up

"Whitetail" 

Done except for the signing.

Never Stop Learning

I spent 16 hours this week hunkered down in front of my computer watching a live webinar entitled "Capture to Print". It encompassed everything from camera set up, lighting, shooting, monitor calibration, Lightroom & Photoshop editing, printer set up and printing...and that's just hitting the high points. I've been doing all that stuff for years, most of the time only adequately at best.

 I learned so much. It was intensive. It was good. 

 It's all about color management...

 I'd completely given up on ever getting "Fog" to the print stage,

but I'm pretty much there.

Whitetail ...still

I pulled "Whitetail" out of the 

'didn't quite make it' pile, and it's back on the easel.

 It's getting a complete rework, background first.

Disregarding the reference photo for awhile,

 and making it more my vision. Time will tell.
