Friday Freak!

Click to enlarge


Hello and happy Friday. For those who have not seen this series, what I am attempting to do is capture images of the same buck (Affectionately called The Freak) every week or so. By capturing the same head angle you can see how fast his antlers are growing. This is the sixth photo in the series of this wild deer. I hope to continue to capture images of this deer until his velvet sheds off and this antlers calcify to the sharp points we see in fall and winter. Enjoy!

Old Painting Animation

I painted this a few years ago and wanted to see if animations worked on this blog. Let me know if anyone has trouble seeing it. It will take a few seconds to load.

Oil paint

After much thought, (and a going out of business sale at a local art store) I purchased a full set of oil paint and mediums. I took a day off last week and went down to a spot that is near and dear to me, Mt Pond. I set up on the earthen dam facing the rocks that I have swam out to a hundred times in the past. After about 3 hours of peaceful and some what messy painting here is the result. I have a lot to learn about how to transport a wet painting and a few other techniques but over all I was very happy with the result. I don't think I am ready to drop all acrylic painting but oil sure has a place in my future art. Check back soon for a painting to be created at New Pond Farm in Redding Connecticut.

Cheers and have a great weekend

Back at it!

Hello and welcome back. Summer seems to be speeding by, I can already notice shorter days and earlier sunsets. Last week I was away in West Virginia and was unable to get a photo of The Freak to continue the documentation of his Antler Growth. Luckily, I have a great friend who captured a shot of this deer on July 9th. He even got the angle to match the others! Thanks Frank!! Tonight I was lucky enough to get yet ANOTHER photo of The Freak exactly a week later, same head angle, different body position, I am actually happy to have a slightly different angle to mix it up a bit. The growth the past 3 weeks is amazing. I also added a few shots of deer/cat interaction, and one I call "The Freak and his Bride" Enjoy!!! Updates on the art show to come later this week.
