Patient Fisherman-Egret

 Close ups

Acrylic on 7x5 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Donna did the the honors of hosting this week and provided a bunch of super photos!

 I had to try this egret. They are such patient fishermen (as noted in the title).

This is acrylic on a 7x5 Gesso Art Board. It has a very slick non absorbent surface. I wanted to use some wet and wild techniques I had been mulling over. But much of my plans fell through. I like a few parts, though. All part of the learning process.

 C&C welcome. Thank you for commenting!     

Isaiah 40:3       But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Cool School-Fish

 Close ups

Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Christine did the job of hosting this week and provided a bunch of super photos!

 It looked like this school of fish were having a good time just hanging out and looking cool.

I really enjoyed dealing with all the different blues.

C&C welcome. Thank you for commenting!

Here's the original photo I cropped. Way too much for me to squeeze unto a small canvas,,,Lol!

Struttin' His Stuff-Rooster

 Close ups

Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Maureen did a great job of hosting this week and provided a bunch of terrific photos! She always does.

I came across this quote by John Singer Sargent: "No small dabs of colour - you want plenty of paint to paint with."
I have been guilty of being stingy with paint...so this time my mounds of color were a little more generous. But most of the areas around the bird were done with thin paint for contrast.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!

 This is Sue,. She was the hostess this week. I just had to try sketching her portrait. Loads of character and personality. The viewer can't help but wonder, "what is she thinking??".
