2 Duckling Souls

This is an acrylic on loose canvas from a photo I took.  The two mallard ducklings didn't survive, but are alive forever in this painting.  They were about three days old at the time.

This art is available as a print on Fine Art America.  I haven't decided to put it anywhere else yet except in offline shows.

Del Mar Stilt

This is an acrylic painting on unstretched canvas 9 x 12.  It is one of my favorites this year.  If you would like to purchase a print, let me know.  It's also available on Fine Art America.  See blow for a link to my page.

I used a blurry photo I took of a black-necked stilt in Del Mar and made it to a painting.  I use a very limited palette with only a few different tubes of paint.  Mostly two types of blue, one type of red, yellow, two types of brown and white.

Here is an acrylic painting of Pepper the duckling having a scratched.  Based on a photo I took a few years back.

Duckling running

Since I had the paints out, I decided to do a companion to Mama and Five Ducklings with the acrylic painting of a duckling running.  I'm also doing another duckling painting with a dark colored duckling.

Jill in Progress #2

Not much further along as I'm mostly doing detailed work and am struggling with various facets of this acrylic painting such as lighting and the water.

Jill in progress

Here is my memorial painting of Jill, still in progress and, I think, half done.  It's in acrylic on stretched canvas, 20 x 20:

New desert painting

I haven't done a desert painting in a long time, so here is a small acrylic one ready for licensing (please contact me if you want to license this).  The original is 9 x 12 in size. This was done from a photo I took in the Anza Borrego desert.

George the killdeer

I just completed this painting that I will make into George the Killdeer's new avatar and icon.  I may remove the yellow background for some projects and items.  This was done in acrylics on a loose canvas pad sheet.

The last curlew calls. . .

Here is a painting I am still in the process of doing.  It's an acrylic painting of an Eskimo curlew which is either extinct or very close to it.  If I finish it, the full title is going to be  "The last curlew calls to its ancestors because that is all he has left."  I just started painting the bird.

Killdeer painting still in progress

I'm still working on this. It's been a struggle, but here's an update. Still not done yet. It's acrylic on canvas.

Update on Killdeer Painting

I am going very slow on this painting as it has gotten kinda complicated for me. I am not used to working slowly on the fine details like this painting has.

Update on Killdeer Painting

Another week has gone by and here is an update on my acrylic killdeer painting. Still plugging along.

Update on Morongo Valley Painting

I haven't been able to really work on this painting until today and a little bit yesterday. I may just keep the painting strokes simple and not force a lot of detail into the painting.

New Painting in Progress--Morongo Valley

I am in the process of doing this 8 1/2 x 11 acrylic on canvas paper painting of Morongo Valley, California. I am using a bad photo I took as a reference. I don't know if I will be putting anything in the foreground. I will have to see how things work out when I get there.

Speeding #1 Acrylic ACEO Painting in a Day
