this is for the birds...again

It's been a good last couple of days in the art studio. A couple of cute little birds flew out of the woods and right into some new paintings!

Check them all out here:

Red-winged Blackbird (click here)
Pine Warbler (click here)

As an artist I am constantly amazed at how some paintings just fight you and others are smooth and flow and are completed lickity-split.

These three paintings each were flowy pieces. It was as if they wanted to be seen by the masses because there was no struggle at all.

Each of these paintings are about the size of a cd case, so if you're looking to add to your art collection but think you don't have room, think again!  Everyone has room for a painting this size in their home or office.

And the idea to paint a Pine Warbler came from a discussion I had with a local bird enthusiast who informed me that just down the road is one of the worlds greatest places to view warblers as they migrate to Canada. Who knew??

I have to say...one of the MANY benefits of painting these little birds...is learning a little bit more about them.
