Carolina Wren
As much as I find birds to be wonderful subjects of color and their feathery forms so tempting to paint, they are indeed deceptively challenging in those specific proportions that say “wren” or “jay” or “sparrow”.
Guardian for Maya
I was asked to paint a guardian angel for a new baby with health difficulties. May her angel bring healing and grace.
Blossoms of Vietnam
I just thought she was so sweet I had to paint her.
Girly Shoes
What little girl would not want to skip around in in pink tennies with hearts on them? Upon posting, I see that I have not yet finished off the eyelets nor signed in the lower left…back to the easel.
Number 10
This is a special request for a star player’s Birthday. Hope he likes it!
Soup
Mmmmmm…savory.
For the Ages
Enticed by a beautiful free photo on Pixabay, I decided to render it in paint. From an art point of view, I think line designs add so much interest.
Veiltails
The rich reddish orange never gets captured digitally, but it is in the actual painting. My father kept a fish tank for us when we were small children. Perhaps that is behind the draw these golden creatures have on me.
Overview
The gull activity at the beach never disturbs me; I could watch it endlessly. These are coming in for snacks in the shallows no doubt. I still have to do some clean up and refinements on this work.
Persimmons
Both color and story drew me to this image. No doubt I will still finish up with a few more adjustments.
