This week’s
painting, Free-Range Scouts, 7” x 12” on 300 lb. watercolor paper,
reflects the purpose of geese on the farm. They are a farm’s security guards –
scouring the perimeter, checking for intruders (or just tasty bugs), and
generally causing a ruckus with their loud honking! If you have a favorite photo that you'd like me to paint, just send me an email at dstullkinsley@gmail.com. And see more art on my website at www.wildriverarts.com

Geese on parade!
In a
recent workshop with Artist Paul Oman, he made painting geese look like so much
fun. I love painting old barns, and this picture of geese on parade along the
side of a rustic barn seemed like the perfect opportunity to paint a small flock of geese.

A Hint of Spring
I just
stepped out the front door and was met by a lovely sight. Even though the woods
is still covered with snow, it’s mid-February and you can feel a difference. The light has changed, the crows
are making raucous sounds, and with the sun shining, the air holds so much more
warmth. I’m filled with thankfulness – and already the plans for upcoming
gardens are beginning to fuel my days.

Back to the trees!
There’s a
new lightness in the woods these days. With February, comes longer days and we’ve
been enjoying light until after 6 p.m. the last few days. And after a month of
cloudy and overcast days in January, we’ve had a couple of days of blue skies
and sunshine! It makes such a difference!
This week’s painting, Riverbank
Birch, 11” x 15” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, captures the morning light
along an snowy riverbank. See more art on my website at www.wildriverarts.com
I’m
preparing for a busy Spring season! In April, I’ll be one of the featured artists
at artZ Gallery in Amery for a month-long exhibit along with talented plein air
painter, Colleen Cosgrove. Also in April, I’ll be the featured artist at The
Gallery in the Osceola Medical Center – this exhibit will be on display in the
medical center from April through June. And the first weekend in May – May 1-3 –
I’ll be celebrating my third Earth Arts Spring Tour with an exhibit in the
beautifully renovated barn at the Amery Ale Works near Amery. As you can guess,
I’m having such a good time painting and Paul is keeping busy framing!
