Pat's Pet Portraits and Wildlife Art

Retiring the brushes for tonight....

A little more than a year ago, in the midst of chaos (too much to do, too little time), I sat down and put everything aside and tried painting a feather.....and you know the rest of that story. Here I am again, with more to do in each 24 hours than I can possibly accomplish....and tonight after an inspiring demo I went to, I decided to try watercolor! Here is my meager beginning.....to be continued....

Today I added a pump operator on the truck, another firefighter at the base of the ladder where the girl is being carried out of the window, did detailing on the antique fire truck and the hoses, started to add the "old guys" taking the ladders off of the truck......
I have this crazy idea about ghosting out the antiques....we'll see.....

Closing up shop for today.....with fresh eyes tomorrow I will look at the old fire truck but I think I am finished with it....tomorrow I will put in the "last but not least" figures...the firefighters from the old days....

Now, on to the antique fire truck and the "antique" firefighters.....
