Blowing In
This 16 x 20 oil was inspired by a trip to the Blackwater Refuge in Easton, Maryland one November. It was blowing a gale, yet sunny and the hunkered-down geese were catching some wonderful side-lighting. It was one of those scenes that I knew would become a painting. With studio oils, I work from photographic reference to remind me of the motif and the shape of the geese - but I do a lot of changing and embellishing. There is no photograph that looks like this painting.
