Tangleflags

I was going through some of the older photos that I took quite a few years ago and happened to come across a couple that I thought I would like to paint.

Tangle flags is an area near to Lloydminster, it is a pretty area and we enjoyed our day.  We also happened to see a Badger hiding in the grass that afternoon.

I finished this one today, so here it is:

What I Am Working On

I am working on a couple of oils at the moment; but nothing is finished as yet. As these are just works in progress I didn't worry about getting great photos of them.
The first one is a 20 x 16 inch gallery wrap canvas, working in oil.

The second one is a 12 x 9 gallery wrap canvas, in oils also.
This is from a photo I took years ago, 2004, so it is not the best picture to work from; but I really liked the area we were at.  It is around the "Tangleflags" area close to Lloydminster. A very scenic area if you like to take photos.  The day we were wandering around there we saw a badger and of course, gophers and many birds.  The old school is still there as well as a church, or were there in 2004 anyway.  We haven't been back since so I am sure there have been some changes.

Rooster

Today I tried doing a painting with acrylics.  I have used acrylics very rarely in the past and have never liked them really.  I think I am too used to the long open time of oils and the acrylics just frustrate me.

Anyway, I finished it and was going to set it aside to paint over sometime; but Roy said he liked it, so I thought I would put it on here anyway, maybe it is just me.
