Since I'm working on one of my long term paintings, I wanted to post "in progress". Otherwise, you would see nothing from me until March. I've been working since November on this painting, and for me, it is really moving quickly. It's about 12 1/2" x 19".
Clouds have been my major focus all year. I have volumes of photos now. I took this cloud photo on a trip to Oregon, and finally found the right bird. I had this idea in mind for quite a while. A lone Great Egret flying in a threatening sky. Flying home, trying to make it there before the storm hits. Or maybe the storm has already hit, and the bird had to wait it out somewhere, and is now on her way again.
I think about the birds when it is storming outside. We are warm in our homes--how do they survive through the harsh winter?
