I have to admit that I have a problem....I never have enough reference. I find myself running out of card space and memory because of all my picture taking. Not to mention the fact that I put more money into my camera equipment than groceries. I thought I would share some of the photos I have taken recently. I have not posted paintings for a while because I am getting my studio organized and ready for a new floor.
I have found that even though I have enough reference to last me a lifetime of paintings, just the act of going out into the field and looking for wildlife stirs the creative juices and gets me excited about working.
You never know what you are going to find, just go out and look. Sometimes you only have to look out your back door, other times, you may have to look a little harder and be a little more patient. One of the best things I have learned since I have started this career, is to not be in such a rush. Great rewards come to those who wait...
