I'm in card mode', small paintings that let me explore different ideas & techniques, still creating works of art I can share & hopefully brighten someones day. There will be several deer paintings - all deer taken from images on the trail cameras, deer in all positions & sizes, many in the evening and some as though posing for the camera. Even a few bucks with horns! Deer appear such peaceful creatures, I've seen a few video circulating on social media where deer attack dogs & humans, including a toddler who's parent I presume thought it was a cute moment, understandably -as we also see many pleasant exchanges between man and beast. I think it best to always keep your distance when encountering a wild creature.
Bear wearing a daisy crown, Queen of the forest. Would she be> The top predator, especially when with cubs? Or would it be a moose do you think? I'm not sure, I'll research the topic. I love when you see sunlight reflecting on a subject & dancing through the leaves, something am practicing more, just painting it is 'enlightening'. When is summer, I have little desire to paint winter, it will be back soon enough & by then like most Canadians, I shall be anticipating it and all it's beauty! I find painting black creatures- bears, dogs or cats - difficult. Reason for more practice.
Everyone who reads this blog or knows me in person is very aware- I love my girls,' my dogs... I will admit I do have moments & this was one where I asked - really? Must you sit with me, in my chair!? Not a big chair either, them all snuggled and comfortable - me sitting on the edge of my seat, so that they remain comfortable. I get frustrated but then remember to just step back & look at that sweetness that LOVES me so much they want to be by my side, always. I am grateful for sharing my chair & heart with these beasts. Maybe, I just need a bigger chair... or a smaller behind! hahaha.
Storm made rice crispy squares (his first time) to bring to church yesterday, it makes me smile every time I think about it... and when we went down for coffee after a mass - as though on cue ' an older gentleman was standing there eating one and said to us -"these are so good"... he did not know he was speaking to the chef! Priceless. heeheehee. Created to create.
Grateful for another day to paint! Praise Jesus! :D
