Well.. here are some shots from the weekend at the Chesapeke Challenge...

first photo is all the NEA class birds that I was prelidged to take to the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art... you can see my student were all over the place.. but shorebirds were the theme this year...

 

The next photo is Yellow-Fronted Woodpecker that I finished and entered into the contest... I was lucky enough to finish first and this bird will be in the museum for six months...

so now that we are home.. it is back to work..

Well... Thanks for the long weekend... got a few projects done....just kept painting and throwing them on the pile...
now if you believe that....
This is part of our collection.. we are remolding our basement and we cleared the shelves....so the birds look alittle unorganized ....
now back to work....
