Feeding Canada Goose Chicks

After a visit to a friend in Oregon, I was inspired to a painting of her feeding the Canada Geese in her back yard, and included her cats and turtle. There's a river with dunes on the other side. A beautiful place.

It took a lot of sketches and thinking before I was ready to paint.

Hidden in the Dunes Multimedia Painting

I've finished this painting now. Well I think I have anyway. It might be fun to compare this with the previous post of the same artwork at an earlier stage. It's no longer an airbrush painting, but has to be called multimedia with the addition of marking pens and colored pencil. What fun this was!

Airbrush Painting: Hidden in the Dunes

Mad River Dunes

I may do a few more details on this, but it's mostly finished. It's inspired by the dunes where the Mad River used to run; the river changes constantly and has abandoned it's old path for a new route to the ocean, leaving behind dunes and wetlands, with a bluff above. It's a great spot for wildlife. This painting was done mostly with airbrush, also using archival markers. It's 8 by 10 inches, on multimedia artboard.
