Here are my two newest bird paintings. I guess I was enjoying the red against a muted background. I've entered both paintings in the March Bold Brush competition. You can vote here to bring more attention to them if you like.
About the paintings:
"Thread Of Hope" was inspired from the snips of crochet thread my mother used to leave out in the garden, which birds fought over for nesting material. A collector has already claimed this one.
"Patience" is about waiting for a spring that keeps eluding us here in SE Michigan. The photo I used as a reference came from a contest I ran last year inviting amateur photographers to submit bird photos. Sheila Burnham won with her photo of this red bird on a picket fence. His stance made me think he looked cold. Replacing the picket fence with a shovel gives the title a double meaning. This painting is now available. Reply to this newsletter if you would like to inquire about purchasing it.
.....and be patient. Spring is just around the corner!
