Work In Progress

One of my art friends, Teresa Burgett, makes wonderfully clever and charming art with animal themes. I have admired her work for a long time, and Michael has bought me several of her pieces for presents.

Ever since Scooter ensconced himself in our house, I have been thinking about having Teresa make a portrait of him. She agreed and then asked me to trade work with her. I was and am completely flattered.

She made several concept sketches of Scooter, and we selected our favorite. (I'll share it with you when I have it in my possession.)

Then I was motivated to get going on the piece I was making for her. She asked for an oil pastel with the theme of Silverton, and I had a good idea of the image I wanted to create. This image is the work in progress (20 x 26"). I am happy with the start and am anxious to see if she likes the completed piece.
