Bee Series – 3 & 4
Here are two more little bee paintings. These are going pretty quick – if you don’t count two failed attempts before these. Always more to learn.
For sale here.

Pine Siskin
I’ve seen this type of bird around, but hadn’t heard of a Pine Siskin, which is a type of finch. This painting is for sale here.

Sparrows and Pink Blossoms
Sparrows & Pink Blossoms 16″ x 20″
I am on a bit of a roll with the sparrows – I’m painting a couple more after this. I am really enjoying working with the brighter colours. Painting flowers is new to me, so I’m having fun figuring that out.

Adding a few flowers to my bird paintings has been fun. It’s a nice opportunity to try out new colour combinations. I can’t remember the last time I used pink!

Sparrows and Blossoms
Sparrows and Blossoms 20″ x 16″
Working on something bigger this time. With the larger size, there’s much more background space to consider. I tried to make it interesting, but not too busy, so that the focus stays on the birds.

I like it when I can mix up the greens with another colour. Especially purple! Helps the birds to pop out, I think.

I never get tired of seeing all of the Blue Herons in Jericho Park in Vancouver. There are so many – nesting in the trees, feeding at the ponds and flying over. Further down along Spanish Banks, dozens wade into low-tide looking for a meal. Lots of painting opportunities.
