The pigtails and the black buttoned chef coat drew me in to this free photo on Pixabay with the tag geralt. Secondarily were the muted lighting and warm grays that surround her. I put in the foreground pot, onion, and greens.

After tedious work on portraits, I often revert to a fun floral. This was painted from a free photo on Pixabay with the identification of Katzenfee50.jpg. I try to avoid cliche in my work, and these tired tulips lit from above called my name. The photographer no doubt felt the same.

Busy, friendly little creatures, the chickadee is always formally dressed which makes them always fun to paint.
