Welcome to The Art of Nature

My subject matter is mainly wildlife. Occasionally I will also paint western/native american pieces. I work in oils. It is my intention with this blog to keep viewers updated on new pieces, post examples of my inspiration and occasionally show a new painting from start to finish!

I called in "Lazy" to work today! I felt the need to paint. I worked a little on the Pintail piece, here is the result. I am excited about the way it is coming together. I need to warm it up a bit, it is a stormy day for these Pintails and the elements are on the cool side, but I do need to add some warmer colors. I will do that as soon as what I did today has had time to dry.
I have had to teach myself patience. I want to see the end result without all the work that needs to be done in the middle. Fortunately I paint thin, meaning that my paint is not applied very thick at all. That way it dries faster. I am also working on another
Bald Eagle piece, I will show the results of that in the next post. I may start another painting today as well!
