Waiting for Spring


 6x6 Oil on Panel

I saw this proud guy outside my sister's window a couple of weeks ago.  So much snow.....and yet she feeds the birds and they gather throughout the day.  A nice splash of color in an otherwise white landscape.

Seabirds 7


5x7 Oil on Museum Quality Panel

SOLD

And yet one more.  Once I got going, I hated to lose the color pallette.  I played a bit thicker with this one, using a pallette knife at times, working on the water patterns.  I like his viewpoint- out to sea and over the horizon.

I wanted to play with composition a bit with this one and capture the close-up characteristics of this bird.  he had a bit more color than some others on the beach and was very bold and fearless.  These birds also force a very limited pallette and focus on values that is a great exercise in seeing. I may want to paint this one in a large format soon.
