Something to Crow About

 The fall holidays are here. My two favorite holidays Halloween and Thanksgiving. So to celebrate I've focused my painting efforts on Halloween. Thanksgiving will come later in the month.

After a Wednesday morning with Drawn Together (artist sketching group) we sketched from still lives at The Art Room in Bangor, a new venture by a former art student of one of our members. I chose the crow or maybe raven statue, sketching it out on my canvas panel then painting it in oil back in my studio.

The next inspiration came from a garbage truck in Winona, MN. I was walking by and noticed all sorts of accoutrements on the truck. Thought it made a nice composition and would like to send a shout out to Sanitation Engineers for recycling.

Along the road I pass by regularly is a neighbor that decorates their yard for Halloween. His entire troupe of skeletons can be seen playing badminton one day, doing yard chores the next and even one Sunday they were lounging on a sofa watching the game. It always brings a smile to my face. Thanks Ben, this ones for you.
