A Shoulder To Lean On

A Shoulder To Lean On - 9 x 12 inch oil on panel

I've been lazy for the last two weeks but I'm now back at it. I'll get back on the two paintings I started a couple weeks ago later.
In the mean time I wanted to paint these guys.
I took the picture on the way back from Austin and have been wanting to paint them.

New Duck Collection

"Northern Pintail" - 5.5 x 8.5 watercolor on paper

I've not worked on any of the studio projects this week but I have started a collection of ducks.
Playing around with watercolors.
You can see the rest of the collection on my website at www.WildlifeAndSportingArt.com

I plan on getting back on the studio paintings tomorrow.
Tonight we are going to the Weimeraner Rescue Foundations annual fundraiser, "The 2010 Weim and Cheese" where the Weimeraner painting will be auctioned off.
I'll post pictures of the event and the results.

Sporting Legacy Series

"Phesant Hunt" - 11 x 14 oil on panel

I've decided to start a series of Still Lifes with vintage sporting magazine covers incorporated into the composition. Magazines such as Field & Stream featured cover art from some of America's greatest artists. Two of which are my favorites. Those being Howard Turpning and the late Bob Kuhn.

Here is the final sketch on the panel of the first in the series. "Pheasant Hunt".

Weimaraners

Weimaraners - 12 x 16 inch oil on panel

Have you ever had one of those times where you started a project and it went so well that you could not stop?
That's the way this one went.
I planned on sketching out the Weimaraners tonight and just transfering them to the panel.
That went so well that I said why not start the background.
I went with a more loose and simple background as to draw more attention to the dogs.
It went so well that I then said why not start on the dog pointing....
Well you know the rest of the story.
So here is the finished painitng for the "Weim and Cheese Fundraiser" being held by the Weimaraner Rescue of the South.

No I'll let it dry, frame it and get it to them this week.
I hope that it does well for them.
