Shades of White

Hi Friends, I purchased this little white glass bird a while back and thought it would be so nice to use it in a still life with other white objects. White is such fun to paint, as you can see there are warm and cool whites. I wanted to keep the hydrangeas white also but wanted touches of other colors so they wouldn't be boring. This is acrylic on a 11" x 14" stretched canvas. Getting pretty excited, this next weekend is a workshop with Patti Mollica, there is a link to her blog on my blog list. The workshop is acrylic, using them in a loose style, should be fun. Check out some of my Ebay auctions, reduced unframed paintings available. Have a wonderful day.

Still life

Hi there, A recently completed still life, I struggle with names so I am open to suggestions. I have several bird nests sitting out on my potting bench, I just love all the intricate work that goes into them. Anyway I finally brought one in to paint and this painting other than the bird nest went through many changes. Started with a blue and white vase, then it became a black and blue jar and then I chose this crock. The bird was a wren and then I wanted something with more color so settled on the Blue Tit and of course the background changed colors several times. I find that I really enjoy dark backgrounds and the drama it creates in a painting. This is acrylic on a 11" x 14" stretched canvas. I hope you enjoy seeing it.

Wren

Hi there, I painted this little painting from a reference photo on Paint My Photo, a great site where photographers and painters come together. This is acrylic on a museum quality Raymar panel, measures 6" x 6". I just love painting birds and this one with his little tail in the air was just too cute. Their little feet are so interesting too. I am offering this on a buy now option, $70 and free shipping. It includes a black wood easel to sit it on. I ship only within the continental US. Please check out my Ebay auctions. Thank you for visiting me!
