"Pre-Dawn At Silver Creek Ranch." 10"x10" In Progress
Hi!
Today is a peek at what's on the easel this morning.
So let's jump right in and start with...
"Pre-Dawn At Silver Creek Ranch (above)." In Progress.
If you recall last week's letter, I mentioned that I sometimes paint
multiples of the same scene, and that this is one of my favorites.
I plan to paint a few more versions of it. The next one will likely be
even earlier, if I can sneak over there quietly on a clear night and
catch the snow-sparkle in the moonlight.
Artist's Society Of Dearborn had a plein-air playdate here and captured
the scenic beauty of barns, horses, and tractors in the full bursting
colors of autumn. We were able to get together, albeit spread out,
during a very trying time, if you recall Autumn of 2020.
My church family has its yearly hayride here and it's just as beautiful
on a dark starry night with a crackling fire, guitars and singing, and
the aroma of roasted marshmallows wafting on the chilly air. That will
be another version.
Perhaps this is why I am so drawn to the place and to the lovely
generous couple who call it home. So many pleasant sensations and
endearing memories.
I'll keep you posted on the progress of this painting and any new
versions of the ranch.
Progress on the cardinals:

"Courageous Cardinal" 2" Available
"Courageous Cardinal" is the first of at least ten tiny paintings to be
finished and dry by Thanksgiving.
That should allow time to ship for Christmas. If you want to send one
to a friend, I'll even gift wrap and put a gift tag on it with your
name and ship it straight to them (US only).
$65 Reply soon if you want him and I'll ship or deliver local when dry.
And here are six more started.
Six more cardinals in progress

Each of these will have a similar snowy background like "Courageous
Cardinal."
The other three may have fence posts or trees featured.
The 2" size will be $65 each and the larger 4" will be $92. All have
gold-foiled back and sides and a mini easel.
Same offer on the giftwrapping.

Congratulations V.L. in SE Michigan!
As an artist herself, I know she will enjoy this happy little gem.
There's a special place in my heart for other artists. In fact, I
believe that there is a bit of an artist in all people.
While I've HEARD some of my collectors and fans say they don't have a
creative bone in their bodies, I just don't believe it.
They're here aren't they?
A very pleasant week ahead to you, full of joy...
...inspired by the happy sound of birdsong!
