What Is Enough?
Bagatelles:
"So how many squirrel paintings are you going to do?"
"As many as I consider enough."
These little guys fascinate me. They've continually outsmarted me about the bird feeder. Finally, I started putting shelled corn out on the ground beneath it and that keeps them relatively happy. Even so, now and then a defiant one among them will head for the feeder, right past my latest, most ingenious baffle.
I've always really liked a smarty pants.
Meanderings:
We won't have an Empty Easel tutorial this week. Dan, our editor, is up to a new venture, something exciting for all of us. I don't know yet what it is either.
And our challenge group has a new name--Moses Botkin Challenge Group.
And soon I'll be introducing--with a new website--our new local art guild.
So Spring's in the air in more ways than one. New things are being born already.

Oh gosh, I was watching squirrels this morning! I am cracking up over your precious squirrel's wittle feeties! Nice job Dianne!
I adore your squirrel paintings!
So beautiful, and I enjoy your observations of your subjects, I start the day with a smile, thank you.
Do I also have you to thank for the link to me on the Second Tuesday Art Guild blog? A very surprising and thrilling discovery, to be in such exalted company! I am delighted.
Great painting - love his feet. You really did a great job on this comp especially with him facing us - nice depth.
This is beautiful, fresh and makes me smile!
Oh, he's back! More fantastic squirrel paintings. Love them!
I'm very enamored of this little guy. I'm studying how simply you build his shape and fur. Awesome.
You don't know me, but I'm an artist too, and I'm just getting into the blogging thing.
What I love most about your work is that even though this is an oil painting, it has a very pastelly (is that a word?) feel to it. Makes it kind of dreamy.
I really like the handling of the ground in your wildlife pieces. So many great colors.
Keep painting them, they are beautiful!
This is a very nice painting. My daughter Maria Hathaway also a professional artist who loves to paint things from life. I am going to point her in your direction for another source of inspiration. Your work is wonderful.
I completely recognize this stance and attitude you've caught with your painting. Fabulous.
