Chickadee Aglow!

Chickadee Aglow
6" by 6" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.

$150.


This little chickadee first appeared in my blog a week or so ago as a soft pastel painting.  I decided to do it again in oil to show the difference.  So, if you scroll down a ways, you will see the other.  Soft pastels must be framed under glass and oil paintings do not unless they are on paper.  I may do this little chickadee in acrylic just for fun and as sort of an experiment.  I had an awesome weekend.  I have had a dream of moving closer to the oceanfront so I indulged my dream and actually went to look at some places to live and walked around different areas.  Not sure how long it will take to get things together but I am feeling closer to making it happen!  I spent the day purging more stuff and finding things to sell on Craigslist.  I found this inspirational graphic that spoke to me that I will leave you with!  Have a great Monday!

Just Chillin!





Just Chillin'
8" by 8" original oil on panel

$225.


    My thoughts are all about the beach tonight after finishing up this piece in my studio today and my sons have gone together to camp out at the beach in North Carolina.  How fun!  I am sitting in my studio with my dog Bailee and my grand puppy, Jet, who is a black lab.  I love visits from my grand puppies!  Hope your Friday was a good one.  I didn't teach today so I was home all day.  Kind of have a bit of cabin fever.  I am thinking a trip out for some ice cream might do the trick.  Well hope your weekend is a relaxing and fun one!

It's almost the weekend again!  The times seems to be flying by and here we have a holiday weekend.  Hope to get to the beach with a friend and relax a bit.  This painting is done on a multi-media board that I have used before.  It is pretty cool as it has a resin in it that makes it possible to frame is without glass.  Panels and canvas always work without glass but oils on paper require glass over it to protect the painting over time.  Anyway, bluebirds are a lovely subject and are a pleasure to paint!  Wish I could see more in my yard but can't say that I have ever seen one.  Just finished up my newsletter today...really finished just in the nick of time for the month's end.  If you have not subscribed, just enter your name at the top right corner and I will send off a copy to you!  There are savings involved!!!  Thanks so much for your continued support.  I am not sure I will post unless I finish something tomorrow when I paint with Scott and Barbara. Hope you have a wonderful 4th!!

WHAT Are You Guys Looking At??
14" by 18" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.
$395.

These little nuthatches are just such cute birds and so much fun to watch as they run up and down trees.  It was great fun to paint three birds in one painting.  They each have their own little personality and attitude.  
Hope you have had a fun and relaxing weekend!!  I did and I am looking foward to a really busy week of painting and writing my newsletter too!  Thanks for checking in with me!  I am off to watch the finale of CSI!  :-)
