The Artist's StudioThe Artist's Studio - works in the works by Marti Adrian

| I just started a new painting again today - it will be over an old painting. I was never happy with the painting of my daughter's horse, Billy (I think its on my site.) So I decided it was time to redo it. My daughter is certainly happy! So I'll post a photo of the change its going through and you will see how different it can be. |

| It seems its back to the drawing board for me. My cave painting idea was shared by someone else in the project, and rather than look like I stole the idea, I've decided to let it go and try something else. Now if only the imagination would kick in.......this one is giving me some grief. I'll need to spend the day meditating on it. |

Well I've been busy with other things these past weeks. I went to the Okanagan and picked up a new puppy. An Airedale puppy - so now I've got Airedales on the brain. I've long wanted one of these dogs, and I just love their antics. I don't really know them well enough to do a really good job of painting them, but thought I'd try a little sketch. Let me know what you think.

Sometimes the actual painting is the last thing that is done on a new piece. Right now I am trying to work out how and what to place on a 22" x 28" canvas. I had thought to do a painting of an Andalusian stallion, and started to sketch out the horse. I wanted it on a bit of an unconventional background, but am having trouble pulling it all together. I sketched this horse in a few different poses, and though it is a great idea, and the horse would present well in this pose, I don't see it filling the canvas in a balanced way.
As I was thinking about it, I sketched Meggie (my old Jack Russel terrier) asleep in her bed beside me where she can usually be found - when she's not out hunting mice in the field.
I'll keep working on the canvas though - its a size I have a frame for, so want to do something for the upcoming summer shows.

Here is the second session of the dove painting. The Australian diamond dove comes in two main colors 'Blue Diamond' and the 'Silver Diamond'. I have a breeding pair of the silvers, and they sit watching me and making their soft little sounds as I paint.
The doves have their basic colors - only a little touch up needed, while the flowers and the leaves have been blocked in. Its a good thing to be doing on this rainy day. Looks like my photography's a little off kilter today. ;-)
