Seance with Taxidermy

I painted this one in acrylic and took some pictures of it before rushing it off to the gallery, barely squeaking in to make the show's deadline.  Later, when I got around to moving the digital images from the camera to my laptop, I realized that they were TERRIBLE.  I tried to touch them up in Photoshop and before I knew it, I had re-painted the whole darn thing.  I'm still not at all confident in my digital art skills, so I guess this was good practice for me.  Some day I'll get the hang of digital painting.  Maybe. 

Anyways.....Taxidermy!!!!  It's one of my old favorite subjects and it had been a while since I painted any of it.  I made this for a taxidermy themed group show called "Loved to Death" at Spendorporeum in Portland.  The show opens tonight and I am super jazzed about seeing what everyone made.
