Quarantine subjects have gone from favorite painting places to photo opportunities that just happen along. The squirrels in the tree outside of my studio and the lovely Koi fish in a pond at Chandor Gardens.  Some chose just because I of the beauty of the subjects and perhaps these because of particular diffiulties of painting fur, bones, water and fins.  All presented their own problems.  I am getting more adventurous in my choice of subjects.  Some I choose just to see if it can “bring it off”.  Thus the Koi fish.  The shells were once “fauna”.  Now they just reside in my bathroom. Treasures from a beach visit long ago. The last painting has “fauna” too, but you must look for it.  A tiny kitten sits in the shadows outside of this warehouse in Shiner Texas.  Perhaps waiting for breakfast.
