A New Home
Hi there, I have worked on this one for a while and it's finished and varnished. I took it for a critique with my group because I felt it needed something other than just the bird, nest and branch. They suggested the addition of buds and I think that made it feel just right. This is acrylic on a 8" X 10" stretched canvas.
I had a busy day yesterday. I painted plein air in the morning and painted last night at a local gallery. Then I came home and painted some more, lol. Do you think that maybe I like to paint? lol I have always joked that if I couldn't paint with my hands I would paint with my feet, and I would.
Check out some of my Ebay auctions , lots of paintings reduced.
Thanks for visiting me and please take time to comment. Hugs

This is wonderful, Barbara...I think the addition of the buds was a great idea...this is why I love the idea of critiquing !!
Thanks Miss Hilda, critiques are great. Sometimes we are so close to it we don't see everything do we?
love your bird and the nest and I think the suggestion of the buds was perfect.
Thank you Sharon, birds are so sweet to paint, glad you like it.
Love this one Barb! What a perfect palette for your sweet little bird! Great job with the nest too! I have a robin's nest here beside me in the studio and am going to get to work! You have inspired me!
Hi Rosemary. Thank you , I have been painting some nests and birds lately, what fun. I'll be watching for yours. Thanks for visiting. Hugs
It's really wonderful, great composition and use of color. And the buds just add to the sense of Spring's renewal. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you Meredith, It was fun to paint and design and the buds were a perfect addition I think.
