What's going on in the studio?

Studio; Works in progress
I thought it might be fun to share a little about what's happening in
the studio this week in between mural projects.
There are several works in progress at present. The small 12"x9" one
sitting on the easel is of someone's cabin in Canada. It shows the
third step in my painting process. That process will be described in an
upcoming video, a time-lapse if I can manage it. There is still quite a
way to go on this one but it should be done by Thanksgiving. In fact,
I'm hoping to have all works that are in progress now, finished by then.
Next up is one you can't see in this image, but it's in a video with
the link below. It's an old-fashioned meat grinder like your
grandmother might have used. Some of us are old enough to have used one
as we helped our mothers in the kitchen. It represents yet another step
in the process.
Then there's the one behind the easel. It's a bit experimental. I'm
trying to depict movement there. You might not be able to tell from the
photo that the bird is clinging to the cord of a hanging Edison
lightbulb. The idea is that the bird set it swinging when it landed
there.
Finally, on the antique easel in the right corner are three little fall
paintings that were started during the two day outdoor event that my
friends hosted on their ranch for my local artist's group. I will
probably develop them just a tiny bit more before I call them finished.
It's very easy to overwork small pieces like this. I usually work very
detailed and my plein air artist friends all say I should loosen
up....a LOT! We'll see.
I put together a short 43 second video version of the studio tour as an
experiment. If you have a moment, I could use a little friendly
feedback about the quality of the video; sound, visual, and anything
else you would like to add in the comments below. This will help me
make improvements for some future video types I have in mind. You can
watch the video here.
And please remember...
When life gets crazy, take a moment to step outside and listen to
birdsong.
