Trial and error...

This piece was done with permission from a photograph by Lincoln Rogers (http://www.lincolnrogers.com/).  It doesn't do his beautiful photograph justice...I generally don't work from a beautiful photograph because I like to try to make my painting more interesting than a photo, but this intrigued me quite a bit.  Sadly, it's not what I had hoped, but I'll try again and see what happens.  It's an interesting subject that deserves another look!  This is done in colored pencil - maybe I'll try again in watercolor or oil...

I volunteer at the West Sound Wildlife Shelter (http://www.westsoundwildlife.org/), where they rehabilitate - and release back to the wild - injured/sick wildlife.  It's a great experience and a I learn something new every time I'm there.

 I did a little painting of one of the oppossums recently released as a gift to another volunteer. It's a nice little painting. I hope to do some painting of the other critters there one of these days as well! 


That's it for now - June already?  Where does time go.  My quote for the month:
