Pelican Painting– When All Else Fails, Paint a Pelican- Day 22

Blue Pelican, 8×8, oil on gessoboard Today I set out to paint something completely different–  a mother/child image that thirty minutes in was a complete failure.  I stayed with it for longer than I should have and finally abandoned the panel all together in favor of this one.  When all else fails, paint a pelican. […]

Still Bird Painting, Watching. Day 21

Painting A Day, Day 20

Ezra, 6×6, oil on gessoboard Two thirds of the way through my thirty paintings in thirty days, and it’s Easter Sunday.  I can’t help but think back to last Easter.  I had finally realized that my husband was not just going through a “phase”, that he was completely and irrevocably gone.  I don’t remember much […]

Bird Paintings– Every Little Thing, DAY 18

  Kingfisher, 6×6, oil on gessboard $75, SOLD A good friend introduced me to the kingfisher bird yesterday.  She’s British (so obviously everything she says oozes with intellect and sophistication), and she described this particular bird as “England’s fishermen”.  I love the way birds (among many other things) remind us of both physical and emotional spaces […]

Bird Painting Continues- Day 17

Discovery– April Challenge Day 15

Discovery, 8×10, acrylic on gessoboard This one is based on a photograph I took of Ezra a couple months ago.  It was dusk, and he was discovering the leaf blower.  The sunlight was fading but shining so perfectly on him that I took about one hundred pictures on my phone trying to capture it.  I’m […]
