More work on the turkey

I feel like i have been working on this FOREVER, but truth is that I am close to finishing, not sure when but here are 2 shots from last sessions I had on it. I am savoring the last few strokes of this one. It will almost be sad to finish it. I have started another larger painting of a Barred Owl, I will try to post the first few shots of it in the next few days. Also planning to paint some Koi fish. So far keeping with my new years resolution of a painting a month!
Stage 25??




The current painting below.

Fire in Nashua

Around 930am this past Monday I was at work headed to get some food from the fridge and saw a plume of smoke rising from the center of Nashua, I headed over to have a closer look. I heard fromt he fire chief that it was the biggest fire in Nashua in over ten years. With the camera I was able to get pretty close, i thought that was all good, until a down draft sent the black smoke createdfrom the asphalt roof down into the street choking me so bad i gasped for air through my sweatshirt, after that i backed way off!

An Old Friend

I pulled the Turkey painting back out this past weekend. I started this painting in April 2008! Id say a solid 6 more hours and it will be looking good!
