Ich habe unsere Gartenkröte wieder entdeckt und festgestellt, dass ich zwar schon einige Frösche gemalt habe, aber noch nie eine Kröte. An diesem ersten noch herrlich warmen Herbsttag ist es einfach wunderbar noch draußen arbeiten zu können.

Ich habe ohne jede Vorzeichnung mit dem Auge begonnen und dann langsam die Kröte und ihre Umgebung drumherum aufgebaut.

I rediscovered our garden toad and realized that although I have painted a few frogs, I have never painted a toad. On this first, still lovely warm autumn day, it is simply wonderful to work outside.

I started with the eye without any preliminary drawing and then slowly built up the toad and its surroundings around it.

Isn't this a gorgeous result for his first attempt?!!

Sometimes we lost inspiration and motivation for painting, because of life's hick-ups. I'm sure all of us know exactly what I mean. To come back into the right mood to enjoy creating art, I know nothing better than the gorgeous loose style of Jean Haines. She's so generous that she offers some great free online tutorials at her art school and this painting is inspired by the last one. A fantastic lesson to paint Delphiniums.

"You don't need anything but hope. The kind of hope
 that flies on silent wings under a shining owl moon."

The background wash was done as a color testing piece for "Winter has come!" and I was very pleased with it. Today I'd a second look at it and I discovered an owl waiting for me there.
