The Moses Botkin Challenge caught each of the 6 members wishing for more time to complete our paintings. We all seem to be busy! There are a lot of shows going and work being painted and shipped. I too have my share of busy work that goes along with painting. Have I said enough to give me a good excuse for not finishing my Challenge painting? The image above is the beginning of my painting. The rest is still to come so this is indeed a Work-In-Progress painting. The Challenged title is "Wisdom" and I chose the hawk to symbolize the Innate Wisdom of Animals. I do look forward to finishing this piece and once it is completed I will post another photo. Thinking about wisdom has made for, "A Painting Day". The Challenge group paintings are shown below.

They are all great and it's fun to see all the different interpretations of wisdom. Your hawk looks very regal and wise indeed! We have a lot of them here where we live, and they are great fun to watch.

Your painting is lovely, Ruth, whatever the whole piece turns out to be. This stands on its own as an apt interpretation of our theme for this month's Challenge!
Very handsome hawk! Great interpretation of the challenge - finished or not.
majestic, wise and beautifully done ruth! just lovely!
Ruth you amaze me. I can't believe how prolific you are at such a high level of quality. I am a little jealous.
