Thunder Bird

Ok, why the title? When I took the photo and turned it to black-and-white, a Thunderbird appeared in the sky! What could I do? I had to give this Spirit credit.

What did I learn today? This is the second painting for this panel! I have had trouble in the past, seeing that I needed to scrape a painting. Instead of being afraid to scrape and begin again, doing it was freeing! Not everything will work and not every painting is a keeper.

A Little About Me

As a military wife, I had the opportunity to study classical oil painting for three years while living in Europe.
I lived in a small town surrounded by the Belgium countryside. During this time I also learned scenery painting with the local theater group.
When I returned to the United States, I re-enrolled in college and majored in Fine Art.

I have always been fascinated with painting, I remember being in an artist's home when I was about six, and "really looking" at the paintings wondering "how" they were made? This sense of wonder about painting has held my attention all-of-my-life.

Today, I still study painting daily, and continuously look for inspiration for that next painting!
