I stayed home and painted in my backyard on Monday. This is the garage/studio.
6″ x 8″ oil on canvas
The area where we live was semi-rural when we moved there, 25 years ago. It’s been developing more and more quickly but we’re fortunate to have a 1 acre lot that backs up to a forested creek. There’s quite a bit of wildlife in that little forest including a family of deer. As I was painting this, a young buck walked right out in front of me and munched on some of the shrubs just to the left of the above scene.

Hi Bill,
I’m by no means an art expert, but I do think this oil looks one of your better ones 🙂 I love your ink and watercolours though!
All the best,
Elyan

Thanks, Elyan. I think each one gets a little better. At least I hope so.

Wow, this is great. I’ve finally moved away from my comfort zone of charcoal into pastels and watercolor. My birth family all work with oils, and I’m trying to get brave enough to try it. Thanks for the inspiration.
