Woodpecker

New 16x20 oil on stretched canvas.  This Pileated woodpecker is based on a fun photo found on the internet at http://cristinasarno.blogspot.com (link is here) set against a photo of trees I took around San Geronimo.  Although, on occasion, I have noticed acorn woodpeckers in my backyard , I haven't yet been graced with a Pileated woodpecker.  Some cool acorn woodpecker photos can be found at www.roysephotos.com (link is here)

Portrait of Lucy by B.J.

B.J. Thrailkill did a much nicer job painting me than I did painting myself.  Portrait done as part of an assignment in Chester Arnold's painting class 3/2012.
