The Bountiful Season

"Acorn Pickers" 11" x 14" InSight Gallery

---

What a great fall, here in Texas! For the first year in many, we are not battling triple digits into October. This seems like it is shaping up to be an old fashion holiday season. Perfect!

I have been hard at the easel and I'm enthusiastic. We are blessed to have an abundance of wildlife in this state and country and I aim to paint as much of it as I am able!

Our whitetail bucks have chased the does relentlessly. We have a very confident non-typical buck that is a great looking up and comer. He will give the big guy a run for top status next year. 
Neighborhood foxes are emblazoned in their finest coats, and all of our wildlife, coyotes to bobcats seem to be enjoying the cooler weather. It is my favorite time of the year. 
With such seasonal abundance, I decided to paint a Rio Grande turkey. I admit a fondness for these birds. I think I have mentioned this before, but what characters! Their mannerisms range from fierce to comical and they always prove to be great subjects.
Hope this finds you as excited about the season as I am. Although I want to be gathering reference, today, the easel is calling and I have some things I want to accomplish. The larger painting I am working on is flowing nicely and I look forward to sharing.  Stay tuned!
