December 30th-Two Against One

Here is a small painting I did and turned it into a Christmas Card. It's simple, but it's cute. Two snowmen are ganging up on the one, and he feels a little concerned! This is the last painting of the year. I hope you've had fun following my journey. Look for a new message after the first of the year. Cheers!

December 23rd-Birdie Gets Festive

In light of our Christmas holiday just around the corner, here is a piece I did (of course you know it had to have a birdie in it!).
I've had cockatiels throughout the years, so I imagine they will make a reaccurring appearance in my artwork over the years.

December 16th-Cabin On Twilight Hill

Here is another painting I did with the blueish twilight tone. Similar to Twilight Treehouse, but of course a different subject. I like how it's placed on a hill with no road to get there; you must come in the back way I suppose.
I took a picture of this piece with my ipad, and it didn't capture the blueness that is really there, but at least you can see the composition and general idea!

December 9th-Little Gal!

Some of you might recognize this Little Gal! as the counterpart to Little Guy!, a white finch I finished and published a month or so back. Both were painted and made with a handcrafted frame.
This piece will be part of the Sumner County Studio Tour in Gallatin, TN.

December 2nd-Somebody's Watching Me

Although I don't care for painting people, I really enjoy painting the eye. There is so much detail in the eyes, and I know I'm only seeing about half of it at this point. It's true I find that the more I paint, the more I see.  like that. This guy is a side portrait like some of the other birds.
