WILDLIFE CALL

One of our local Big Bear resturants has contacted me about displaying a couple of paintings during the summer months. Since we just received another 5 inches of snow last night, I'm not sure that summer is that close yet, so probably no hurry. They are looking specifically for wildlife subjects. I have this acrylic of a cougar from our local zoo that worked well for me. Also an acrylic of an eagle that reminds me of paintings done on velvet that I've seen south of the border, but other people have given me good comments on it. Just being kind I'm thinking.

I heard so cal was getting the "Artic Blast!" I love them both John, but am particularly fond of the cougar (though I am QUITE fearful of them.) The detail & piercing gaze are spot on. Regardless of the snow, just blink & summer will be here!

Hi Becky...thanks for the comment on the paintings but the second comment didn't work. More snow last night. Enough already!!

hey John--Just chiming in--Two good pieces! Nice light in the Cougar. I'm not getting Elvis painting out of the eagle. Ever notice the fancy pastel artists working on black paper? Isn't that kinda like black velvet? I mean, I'm just sayin. Wm

Thanks for the comments William but I'm not buying the black pastel paper look. All the eagle needs is blue suede shoes!!
