February 18, 2007 - White Tail Deer



This new painting is on an oval canvas. It is a White Tail deer. I have done the background in three different colors. The darker areas are Paynes Grey and Hookers Green, bringing in some Bright Yellow to add highlights where the head and horns will go. The effect I am trying for is shafts of sunlight coming through the dark trees.

The second photo is the Dalmation Pup. A further application of Titanium White has been liberally brushed over the entire pup. He is coming along nicely.

I purchased the oval canvas from Wallacks in Bells Corners, Ottawa. It was a bargain at $11.39 as I have trouble finding good quality Oval canvas anywhere. I most likely will buy all my supplies there from now on as I find the prices and selection quite good.
