Barn Swallows

Barn Swallows 8″ x 8″

I hadn’t intended on making this so pink. It just happened. After looking at it for a week, I think I’m okay with it.

Painting a duck makes you realize how shiny they are. Tricky to capture.

Junco

Junco 8″ x 8″

I’m already seeing lots of these guys and it’s not even spring yet!

Here are my birds (and my tree) on display at Stock Home Design at 3060 West Broadway, Vancouver.

While working on this painting, I thought that the grey background might be too dark and dull. But I like how it turned out. The grey makes the orange of the robin pop out. Every painting is an experiment.

Chickadee

Black-capped Chickadee 8×8

Chickadees are one of the cutest, most cheerful birds around. And they always seem to be so curious and playful. Their little round bodies and happy songs are hard to resist. (Which is why I’ve painted another one, I guess).

House Finch

House Finch 8×8

I don’t see finches very often, so when I do, I feel lucky. As I sit here looking out at the winter rain pouring down, it is nice to think of a warm spring day when I might get to see one again.

Two or Three Crows

Three Crows 8″ x 8″and Two Crows 3″ x 3″.

A tiny painting can sometimes be a great study for something larger. I painted the 3″ painting with my usual series of tiny paintings for Christmas, then the larger one.
