moving on II

I painted this same photo a few months ago and my good friends bought it for their lake house. The original is painted on a 2 x 2' canvas. I asked their permission to paint the photo again and they said it would be fine for a small fee. (jk) This one is painted on a 3 x 3' canvas. I intentionally did not look at the first painting before I started this one. I used the same cropping but was curious if I would interpret the colors the same way. This one is different but very similiar. I could not find the original painting photo so if you want to see it, go back about four months in my blog. I never want to take time off from painting to get organized. A problem!
I have been busy painting for several shows. Oct 1st is an annual show in the Birmingham area, the "Bluff Park Art Show". This is the 48th year of existence and it is a BIG show with artists coming from all over. I told you about the North Carolina show Oct 8th in my last post. Last, but definitely not least....I am one of the featured artists in DK Gallery in Marietta , Georgia Oct 7. The show is all about creatures. They have about seven or eight of my creatures on display with some other great artists.
Oh yeah, I am leaving for Italy Thursday. How cool is that?sold

    Vos oies sont terribles! j'ai l'impression qu'elles vont arriver sur mon clavier!
    J'aime le jeu de la lumière qui inonde votre peinture et qui apporte un magnifique contraste avec vos couleurs harmonieuses.

  7. Very cool that you are able to visit Italy. Have a wonderful time, Carol! Love this gaggle of geese to. I know I've stopped my car on the highways and roads and streets to let one cross before me.

  15. I'm crazy about all your geese and your beach women, especially the single one with the "wrong" composition. She's at that stage of life where she's perfectly fine with a broken rule like that!
