I tried to paint today but the snow, a rescued Junco, and a broken phone all had other plans 😆
Some days the studio decides for you.

Work in progress 🦉 - When painting owls there is always this moment during the mid-level details to fine details when I ask myself why I chose a bird with a thousand tiny feathers and whisker-like filaments. They're incredible to paint, but they can be time consuming.

Ever feel connected to an animal? Owls do that for many people. Reflected Intensity comes from a real moment my daughter and I shared with two owls on our roof.

The original 8x8 oil painting is here: tinyurl.com/OREagleOwl

Months of work go into one painting.
Every line in this Osprey is placed with purpose.
Craftsmanship matters when a piece is made to last for generations.

Inking on the Osprey is finished 🦅. This stage shows the lines or bones of the artwork before paint. I’m happy with how the clouds and tree line turned out.
Next is the impasto layer 🎨 which creates the depth and texture originals are known for.

In the studio this week and today: Mallard and Osprey in progress.
Fresh paint on the Mallard’s tail and glaze on the foot. Next, I’ll be inking the Osprey’s clouds, land, and water.
Which stage do you like more, painting or drawing? 🦆🦅

I spent some time over the weekend working on the Mallard. 🦆
I worked on the front foot and started refining a few details. Once it’s dry, I’ll be adding more color glazing and fine-tuning the textures.

It feels nice to be back with the paints again.

Today in the studio, Sasha decided she needed to give me a challenge 🐾
I’m juggling pencils and dogs while working on the Osprey drawing for the large oil 🎨✏️

Definitely not an impediment… right? 😄

Do you have a helper pet too? 🐾

Studio update from the easel today:

I’m starting layout work for the Osprey in my Kings of the Sky series. This will be the large oil version, expanding on the earlier sketch and study. It’s always fascinating how a piece transforms from paper to canvas.

An even closer view of the osprey’s wing drawing on canvas. Each feather is carefully shaped as Allison starts planning the large oil version for her Kings of the Sky series. A close look at Allison sketching the feathers of an osprey’s wing in pencil. The detailed lines show the flow and movement that will guide the painting later.
