It's July and Summer is in full swing here in Kalispell. My daughters and I are playing the license plate game - where you see how many out of state plates you can find. So far, it's been a week, and we have already seen at least 15. Not to mention the visitors that I meet in the gallery - Paint, Metal and Mud! Today was Virginia day. I must have met 4 people that were from Virginia today, visiting Montana for the first time. It sure is fun to live in a place that people like to vacation. The scenery never gets old.
So today I am working at the gallery - one of my two shifts this month. I like to paint while I'm working as it passes the time when it is not busy. Unfortunately, I only brought two canvases, and when I finished the second I still had 3 hours to go. I could have easily done another. Ah well.. no biggie. Not sure how I feel about the second one, because I don't do wildlife very much. I would really love to become good at painting animals though, as I am fascinated by them. For now, my wildlife paintings are a little crazy but fun!
The first painting is 24"x20" and is called "Bird Woman Falls, Glacier National Park" and the second is called "Mountain Goat of Glacier", and it measures 12"x12". Both are oil paintings on stretched canvas and painted with a palette knife.
