Young Does On Our Farm

"Young Does" charcoal  on Strathmore Gray Scale paper , 9 x 12"

Often, on my walks around our farm , I come upon wildlife that share our woods. These young deer were grazing on a patch of green that grows in our over grown woods. I've captured them in charcoal.... maybe to paint at some future point.

Things Are Heating Up In The Studio

Things are really heating up in the studio for me and I can't say that it is my painting!! But I take comfort in knowing that some of my artist friends are feeling the heat too...literally!
On another front, I am feeling the heat of deadlines for new shows opening this fall, and will be blogging more about that later. For now I am thinking I need to start doing plein air painting..someplace cool yet sunny! Where would that be? Here in Morrill, Maine it has been into the mid 90 degrees for at least 4 days now.In our little passive solar home the AC is cranking! The weather is supposed to turn today.....relief! Who says Maine doesn't get hot!!???

My gardens are finally really blooming...perennial and veggie....which keeps the deer happy eating all my efforts. The shot above is my front raised gardens....the deer are eating the flocks.Bad deer!

There are a few new works updated on my website. Take a look...enjoy!
And now, I guess I better get cranking....new works in the works! And I am heating up!!!

Wildlife On The Farm

This was obviously not from a current photo..but we have deer all over the farm...and this young buck is seen often around the pastures....and I am sure this will also be painted at some point. Now it is a graphite study, 8 x 10".
