Day 6 of the 30 in 30 Daily Paintings

Day 6 of the 30 in 30 paintings. Black Necked Stilt. Shore Bird. 8x8 Oil on Gessobord. This is another fabulous photo by Donna Ridgway for the Photos for Artists page. I loved the colors of the water on this one. It really does have stilts; after gurgling them I see that at least half his legs are underwater! Interesting bird.

Day 4 of the 30 in 30

Day 4 of the 30 in 30. Found this hummingbird on the Photos for Artists Facebook page and immediately fell in love with this little guy! So vibrant and sweet! The photo is by Joan McDaniel. Thanks Joan! 

Day 3- 30 in 30 Jan 2016

Day 3 of the 30 in 30 Daily Paintings. I painted this for day 3 on day 4 as I got a little behind over the holidays. This is a sweet little meadowlark done from a wonderful photo by Donna Ridgway in the Photos for Artists group on Facebook! Thank you Donna for adding a watermark to your photo so I didn't have to search thru all the thousands of photos to make sure I get the photo credit right:) My theme this year is birds or farm animals. Lets see if I can keep to it or throw something random in! I am foregoing the song titles for this challenge as sometimes I just can't decide what to name it!!!

Available for $42 and with free shipping in USA!

Iridescent- Linkin Park

Iridescent- Linkin Park..6x6 Oil on gessobord. The challenge this week is a tea cup. My mom has been saving this cup with the lily of the valley on it for years. I took it with me to Williston to paint it. I was going to put tea in it  but I discovered it has a hairline crack!!! Oops...Maybe I did that in the move or transporting???  I love the iridescence of it; was difficult to get that.

Painted for the DailyPaintworks Challenge this week. Supposed to be abstract, but this was all the abstract I could manage. Been awhile since I have been at the easel and it felt so good!!!! All moved in to the new place and ready to roll for the upcoming 30 in 30 with Leslie Saeta in January.
