Finally! New artwork on the table

It has been a ridiculously long time since I've been in the studio creating new art. I completed a piece in July, and did a few commissions this fall, but other than that I just haven't had a chance to get out here and work. It sure feels good to be back in the studio.

This new piece is a great blue heron. It's been a few years since I did one and I figured its time. This is a close up of the head so far. It's a big piece with an absurd amount of detail and I'll be surprised if I get it done before the end of the year. I will post more in progress photos as the piece develops.
