He is finally done! It took a day longer than I thought, but he's done. WoooHooo! I had to photograph it the end the scanner just did not want to do the job. Thanks to a kind donation of a copy stand and some advise from Walter Rowe of Grafton's own Rowe Photography. Thanks Walter I owe one.Now I just have to get Mr. Prothonotary here listed on Ebay tonight.

So here we are at the under painting stage of this wee little painting (2.5x3.5 inches). I just very quickly blocked in some of the values and am ready to start laying in color.

I have also officially established that my scanner hates the color I mixed to do this in. Maybe it knows about the new camera and is jealous. Can you send flowers to a scanner?

Sketch for a new ACEO Painting

This sketch of a Prothonotary Warbler is from another trip to Sandy Ridge. He should be a finished watercolor by Tuesday. They are nesting there just off the trail.
