By painting his “Hoot Owl” in orange colors, I think my father, artist John H. Stermer, was having fun and peaking our curiosity. I see stoic owls, teaming with energy as they wait for the night’s hunt. What do you see? I thought I’d write about my “muse” for my “Just Sayin’…” series after seeing a contest on Professional Artist Magazine. They’re asking artists to enter images of their muse with a story. Hmmm, I have a muse; I can do this. 🙂 My husband Robert and I are in Sacramento getting ready for our upcoming coast-to-coast “All Terrain (Happy) Campers Tour”. Its great having an opportunity to meet the people behind our camper. They gave us a tour of the shop and it is fascinating to see the craft and workmanship that went into our Bobcat.Shipping Artwork — Lessons Learned & Recommendations
Background
It all began about six months ago. I was attending a critique session with local Watercolor Society of Oregon members. We got on the subject of shipping artwork and watercolor paintings in particular. I added my two cents worth, or was it forty-five? In any case, my friend Georganna Happel suggested I write an article about shipping paintings. Six months later, I think I’m ready to give it a try. John H. Stermer Painting “Hoot Owl”
