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!

Size: 5 x 7

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.
Title: Birdie Gets Festive
Size: 8 x 10 inches
Medium: Acrylic on panel

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!

Size: 11 x 14

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

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.

Title: Little Gal!
Size: 3 x 4 inches
Medium: Acrylic on wood (handcrafted frame)

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.

November 25th-Golden Village II

Something about this painting has opened up a whole new path for me. If you've been reading the blog, this style might already look familiar to you. I actually started this piece before other ones you've seen just like it, but it took me longer because the layout did not have a drawing beforehand. I spent a lot of time with this one. Not just painting it, but putting it on my living room mantle and studying it to figure what else it needed. It feels finished now.
