The Avalon Foundation has added a new website for the banner program at
http://www.theavalonfoundation.com/bannerprogram/ You have to click through to view the banners. The auction is coming up December 10th and I have two banners for bid. If you can't come to the auction in person, you can go online and make a bid.
If you are in Easton, my banners are outside Gracies on Goldsboro street near Out of the Fire and General Tanukes. Take a look. The oriole would be a great gift for the bird lover or O's fan in your life. I'm banking on some of my lax friends to make a great sale of my lacrosse players. If you want to have the number changed or team name added to the jerseys, I can paint over what is there at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE! Customized art! what a great Christmas present that would be.
Make a bid today or come to the Waterfowl Festival building in December for the live auction.
Haven't done Illustration Friday for a while. I needed to sketch a little today so that I could warm up for some commissioned drawings I need to get started. Baylee is our new beagle pup. She is often very noisy, but—as most babies do—she crashes hard. For a brief time she is SILENT, but then starts to snore contently.
Come out to Wilmington, Delaware this weekend for the Brandywine Festival of Arts. Go to http://www.brandwinearts.com/ for all the details. My booth will be along the railroad track, just in front of the music venue (it was a great spot last year). I have lots of new work that I have been posting here, so come out and see it (maybe even buy one!).
Hunkered down in the house to ride out Irene. Here's what I painted today. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
After a tough weekend of trying to get inspired, I settled on this subject for the latest painting. I took some pictures of dogs playing in the surf at Dewey Beach on vacation. I thought this made a pretty good image. I included a couple of step photos to se
e
it develop.
I have been holding on to this idea for a while and wanted to get it done for the BFA. I had some source photos, so I took them down with my portable easle to the beach last week and put paint on canvass. Som of my observers were a bit confused wondering where I was seeing a river scene with a heron while looking out to the Atlantic. Made for interesting conversation.
