BLOG TROUBLES

I've got some blog issues - not sure when I'll be up again.

Right now I'm trying to catch a raccoon! No kidding.

Thanks for waiting. MB

"PROCESS - GEORGE"

You can see my original painting in the left hand corner.

The original was 8" X 8" and the new painting is 36" X 36". 

This is from a photo that my neighbor's Mark & Marilyn took a while ago. 

They are both excellent photographers and carry their cameras where ever they travel.

 They are extremely generous with their magnificent photographic collection.

I couldn't paint George Town - George without their help and inspiration. 

Marilyn and Mark always seem to be in the right place 

at the right time for these one of a kind shots. 

It takes a village!

Thanks - MB

"GEORGE"

Here he is finished. The background is a muted green like photo below.

Didn't get that quite right for this shot. 

Here's my new hanging system in my studio. I wanted to have my

paintings out instead of packed away under my bench. You can

see some scale in this photo. 

Small squares are 6"X6" George is 36" X 36".

Thanks for taking a look.

"GEORGE" MORE PROCESS

More process shots of "GEORGE"

"BUDDY"

Buddy doesn't like to have his picture taken - I had to wait 3 months

for a good shot of Buddy and this is the happy result!

Thanks for taking a look, MB

"HANDSOME"

This is my Georgi Porgi Corgi! 

He's a happy boy.

"FIRST TRACKS"

I usually don't venture much into landscape but loved this idea so I gave it a go. For those of you

who don't ski these are my first tracks on this run. It's what we call skiing untracked powder.

This run is a 30 minute climb from my house(that means I climb up the hill on my skis for 30 

minutes - ski down and then climb up to the top - that's a shorter climb more like 15 minutes

then I ski it again - climb up again and ski again) That's how I stay in shape in the winter

and that's why I'm always praying for snow - because I love to ski!

Thanks for taking a look. MB

"BIRD ON A WIRE"

Chickadee II

Thanks a bunch, MB!

"MY LITTLE CHICKADEE"

It's been years since I painted some chickadees. They are one of my

favorite little birds. I'd like to do a series but this will have to do

for now. It's been a crazy start to the New Year. 

Hope all is well with everyone. 

Thanks for taking a look. MB
