Swingin' Chickadee 20"x10" Oil on canvas
Hi!
Well, we're into yet another mural project, and this one's even bigger
than the last. With the coming of busy mural season, I almost forgot to
load the new work coming off the easel. "Swingin' Chickadee" is one of
them.
A little about what inspired this painting:
The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn is a field
trip must for school children here in Michigan. On my first visit there
I was fascinated with the Village workers in period costume and their
live demonstrations of of long-ago maker skills. I had two favorites
among them; the candle-maker and the glass blower.
Couple this with a visit to Thomas Edison's lab and I was one fixated
3rd grader. The soft glow of candles and incandescent lightbulbs was
such a visual treat that my teacher had to literally drag me on to the
next exhibit.
This painting is going to be entered in a show with a Dearborn theme on
October 25. If you are interested in it, let me know by next Saturday
and I'll place a hold on it. Subscribers to my Studio News get 20% off
until then. Once entered in the show, it goes back to full price.

Up next: Fall Giveaway! Next week I will select one of my small 4"x4"
original oil paintings to give away. I do this about four times a year
as a thank you to those who faithfully read my Studio News.
I'll show you the giveaway painting next week and draw a name from
among my subscribers on October 30th.
Until then, have a wonderful weekend filled with sunlight and birdsong!
