February workbench

Update on the place for my workbench to go:

We finished up the brick veneer between the weather events. Only brick that is left are the columns on the porch and a well house. HVAC is done, plumbing is done, electrical is 90% done. My friend does commercial HVAC for a living so he and I did the HVAC, I have pulled all the wire for electrical, etc. I am ready to be done!

Inspections next week then it will be time for insulation and sheetrock.

20250223_142718.jpgBeen kind of busy. Daughter finished painting this wigeon. I was not happy with him and my daughter saved him from the wood pile. She did a great job on her first wigeon painting. I got two more drakes sealed and ready for gesso and paint. One more drake to sand and seal then I can get going finishing final touches on the hens.

Patrick,

Looking good.

To quote the title of Thomas Aquinas Daly's book - THE PAINTING SEASON.

It's here now.


Oil paint Least Bittern on wine case lid. Was inspired as I watched one up close last year while fly fishing. The smallest member of the Heron family and can really do a disappearing act in little to no cover. Amazing to see.
Looking good Vince

Making more progress this weekend. One drake done and sealed with clear sealer ( still wet in one picture) the other has base layers done and beginning feather work. I'll finish him up and move on to the hens. These are some of my gunning rig for next year.
