Day 14

Another crane today. Starting to dig through tons of reference and looking for more light and more subjects. Too much to do on the home front and tomorrow the little man(Nuri, my grandson) comes to spend the day with me. I need to be in the studio by 6 am or forget it. Those long, bright Alaskan nights would be helpful. Usually by 3, the best of the light has left my studio and it becomes a struggle to paint. Red Crowned Crane, 6" by 8" oil on canvas.
