Bosphorus Art Project Quarterly

From BAP Quarterly's website:
"Bosphorus Art Project Quarterly is an online art journal aimed at bringing international artists and writers together. BAP-Q has a theme for each issue and based on the theme, discusses a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, visual arts, literature, theatre, cinema, aesthetics, and social and cultural studies. "
I'm very pleased and honored to have two of my paintings chosen for the current issue's cover (Nature Morte; Late Veery) and content page (Caught.) Take a moment to check out their Winter 2009 Issue here.

Nature Morte



Nature Morte; A Late Veery, oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches

edited July 2, 2008: After reading Bruce Morrison's comment regarding the identity of this bird, I decided to change the title. It was formerly Nature Morte; Young Robin. Thank you Bruce!

Morning Light



The Shade Garden in May

When I was out watering this morning I kept my eyes open for a place to bury the robin. The light filtering through the bleeding hearts was so beautiful. And that area is fairly established - those plants won't need to be moved or divided for a time. So there the robin will rest.

Garage



Painting of a Late Young Robin in Progress (the painting is shown on its side)

The background won't stay so vibrant or so fuschia-colored but the bird is getting pretty close in form and color.

I duct-taped a couple of bamboo sticks to an upright pole. The tail is held between these two sticks to keep the bird from spinning.

Window



Sketch of a Late Young Robin, graphite on paper, 11 x 8.5 inches

I finally found my cruller doughnut at Rainbow Foods. When I got home with it, and strung it up, I took a break to look out my window. There, on the ground, was a dead bird. I'm not at all fastidious about cleaning my windows, but this bird was fooled anyway. The poor thing apparently dove into the glass. It looks like a young robin to me.

This really isn't the type of set-up to do in the stuido - so I'm painting in the garage tonight.
