This summer while cutting some low hanging branches from the maple tree near my driveway, I noticed something on the end of the branch I was about to trim. On closer inspection two unmoving baby hummingbirds were staring back at me from their nest. Obviously the branch didn’t get trimmed and I spent the next week photographing their progress until one day they left the nest and flew away. The branch is still there and the abandoned nest is slowly falling apart. From time to time I’ve spotted these two from a distance near the back woods. I don’t have a hummingbird feeder, but I’m now tempted to install one in the spring to see if I can entice them to show up more closely to the house.

The drawing for this has been on my table for a while. This swan in early morning light caught my eye and I want ed to share it. Light is an important part of any painting and is central to the idea of this image. The early light was coming from all around and was swirling around the swan in a fluid way almost as if it were liquid. I wanted to see how it would play out in a painting.

We watched this black bear rummaging around up on the mountainside most of the day, then in the evening he began to work his way down the hill toward us. We realized he wasn’t interested in us, but after gorging all day with pine nuts scavenged from squirrels caches and eating grubs and any other goodies he could find he was very thirsty and was headed down to the waterfall below us on the hillside. He past us only yards away where I got this view of him.

I’m thinking of eventually doing a full body image on a larger scale, but of course that will require a lot more time than a small daily painting such as this. If anyone is interested in a larger view, let me know. He was one of the largest black bears I’ve seen.

This is the final and finished posting of “Bighorn in Twilight”. I’m posting the finished image here with the three step-by-step progress images below for comparison. You can read about the steps in previous postings below. Because of the twilight colors the painting has very subtle tones that may be hard to see on your computer screen. Clicking on the image for a larger view may help but will likely not give the full range of colors in the painting. Thanks for following the development of this image and waiting for the finished work.

Holmes County, Ohio is home to many fine Amish farms. Traveling in that area this summer, we came across this farm with two Dapple Gray mares in the pasture. I’m more accustomed to seeing Belgian horses or mules on Amish farms so it was a surprise to see these two beautiful Grays in this area, and I knew right away I wanted to do a painting of these beautiful animals. You can tell a “Grey” from a white horse by their dark skin color seen in the ears, around the eyes, nose and legs where there is no white hair to cover the skin.

This painting sends me back to my childhood in Illinois where I remember a neighbor who had a team of Dapple Grays and one year plowed my grandmother’s garden with them.
