Birdies

My newest painting, inspired by the birds this spring. 12 x18 unframed $225.00
Noticing them more as the new kitty is mesmerized by them but quite frightened. The first time she heard them chirp she ran and hid beneath the deck. Now we just sit and watch together, she is still afraid of them. Soon she will be out of this phase....

Some finishing touches and these kitties are off to their new homes. 

 

Whats on the easel for this mothers Day?

#PAOTW Joe Spademan

 This week the "portrait artist of the week" website (facebook) chose Joe Spademan 

I painted him during a zoom meeting session with Dee from the FCA on Tuesday from my phone. Using such a small image i was able to paint him quicker not focusing on any of the details. That is about how much time i like spend painting these.  The four hours recommended is too much! I don't think that I have spent four hours on any of them but I do tend to waste time painting, fixing, detailing,  I understand when artists say they will just need to stop or the painting will get ruined. So here is my simple painting. He looks like  a JOE doesn't he?
