This month's challenge subject was the view out our studio window. Very interesting. Mine turned out to be a watercolor sketch. I tried it in oils, but was really unhappy with my efforts. Those rocks are hard to paint and it was an overcast day.
If you look in the middle back behind my fence is a deer. He really did walk by there. Several did. We are blessed to have this 'green belt' area behind our house so we have a lot of privacy though we are buried in suburbia. We have a lot of wildlife too. Armadillos, skunks, opposums, deer, foxes, roadrunners, tarantulas, scorpions.... along with the traditional birds and squirrels.

Robin, love the freshness of your w/c. Think of me this week...I enrolled for a w/c workshop for fun! I started with w/c with Charles Reid...but kinda took a dirt road with oil and pastels. I'm sure we'll get a good laugh!
I enjoyed your painting, loved reading about your view and the different critters that inhabit your environment. Being an Oklahoma native, I am familiar with all you mentioned.
The other day my husband mentioned armadillos and our son had no idea what he was talking about because there are none of those creatures up here at the edge of the earth. Such a pity; they're so picturesque!
Hallo,
wunderschön, gefällt mir sehr gut.
Gruß Werner
