Put a Bird on it!

The final day of the Lynn Ferris workshop and it is filled with birds!  In today's magical class, we fine-tuned our ability to paint from shadows and create rounded forms.  Not as many layers as yesterday (only 7 today!) but more detail and more planning behind when each step happens for best effects.  

So this month I took a vacation from everything, and followed it with a creative vacation from my own work and studio.  This is the perfect formula for recharging all batteries, artistic and otherwise.  I plan to do this again, in just the same order.  

There are hordes of broods of new baby geese in the lake behind our house just waiting to be painted, and I have some juicy new supplies to paint them with!  Now if I could just get them to hold still for longer than 5 seconds...
