Winter Fairyland
Well, I haven’t seen so much fairyland this winter, so I was prompted to finish a year old painting. Some works need a lot more ruminating. This actually has more lavender in the foreground than my camera can capture.
Livin’ the Dream
Great Eagle
Here is the finished product of previous sketch. Something about this noble face drew me in. I found him in historic photos of black and white. I do not know his real name.
Great Eagle Beginnings
I usually do my use of space and general light and dark plan before I take to actual painting. This stage is often a far cry from the end result. See following post for transformation.
Motor Girl
For the time being I may have gotten some of Ngyuen Thanh Binh out of my system. I do aspire to his kind of essence in oil paint.
Bird Girl
After the simplicity of Nguyen Thanh Binh. The previous post has the explanation for these last two paintings.
Flower Girl
I am so inspired by the lovely simplicity of the striking work of Vietnamese painter Nguyen Thanh Binh that I had to try a spin off myself. Mine lacks his genius, and if you search his name you may agree!
Child of Light
While the world celebrates New Year’s Day, on January 1 in the Catholic Church, the Solemnity of the Mother of God is also celebrated. Mary’s yes brought Light to the world.
Feed My Sheep
Jesus told Peter to feed his sheep (Jn. 21: 15-17)
Jays
Blue jays are total eye-catchers in any season. I am told there is not much difference between male and female, except that the male is generally larger than the female. Interestingly, he feeds the baby and the mother when she stays on the nested hatchlings.
