Architectural Rendering

The rendering biz is a little slow this time of year; it's a nice break from the busy season.  Home Portraits  make great  gifts if you are interested!

Thanks for looking today.

KARAKUL SHEEP

Karakul Sheep
16"x20"
Oil on Linen Canvas
$325.00
SOLD
Finished!  I'm finally finished with the latest Karakul sheep painting...love painting these sheep!  I'm thinking about doing a much larger one now!  When I went to photograph the sheep down at my neighbors house, it was early spring and the new baby lambs were mostly just days old.  They had a few of the sheep still in the pens with their brand new babies; learning how to bond to each other, and they were so sweet.  They need to learn to know their mother and visa versa, because when you let them out into the large herd they need to be able to recognize each other's scent and call...baaaaaaa!! I thought it was interesting how they have to sort of learn this.  The little lambs, for the most part, look very similar with some color variation in color and the ewes look even more similar..it's no wonder they might get separated and not know each other just by sight! 
Thanks for looking today.

BREAKER'S INN, GUALALA, CALIFORNIA

Breaker's Inn, Gualala, California
Watercolor Rendering

I just had to post the website for the Breaker's Inn in Gualala, California, and the nice note I received from the Inn Manager, Susan.  What a fun project this was...
I did a little 'research' about Gualala, and the surrounding area, to get a feeling of how the painting should feel...what a charming and quaint area with lots to do and see.  And, it's only a short trip from San Francisco, where my brother lives.   I know I would love to vacation here because Gualala, looks so relaxing......with miles and miles of picturesque scenery to enjoy AND paint!  Wouldn't it be fun to visit Susan and the Breaker's Inn in person!  
Here's  the letter from Susan:
Char - Hello from Gualala - our website just went active - most things working - your watercolor is framed and now in the lobby - :) And - will be in the new restaurant.

If you go to : breakersinn.com - and to rooms and rates, you are the 'grounds map' - it looks great. You're also on the Photo Gallery - some of the photos aren't fully yet working - some are. Hope you like -

Thanks again, looks great. Please use our site for your website promotion, too - if I hear of other B & B owners that need a watercolor, I'll 'talk you up' :)
I'm just now running for the board for the Mendocino County Lodging Assn - so we'll see if that works out- if it does, would love to speak on your behalf
to see if anyone wants to hire you:) So many of the inns out here are so picturesque --

Thanks again, Sue, Innkeper, Breakers Inn
