I am not a landscape painter but in the spirit of a challenge I’m doing Challenges A-M, pictures given us to paint by www.letspaintnewmexico.com. The following are A and B, 5″×7″ and 6″x6″ respectively. Only 11 more to go! And of those, only 6 will be going to a gallery in Albuquerque. When complete I will be asking you all for your help in deciding which 6 I should send.

I love to watch the swans on Belle Isle, near my father’s home in Detroit and paint them especially in the spring when the female is sitting on the nest.

One of three of the same subject. 6″x6″,
acrylic. Trying to push the limits of color and also compare to natural look. I love this guy’s expression!
