Encouraged by the overwhelming response to my little bird pieces, here are three more.

My heartfelt thanks to the many of you who expressed interest in this project; it is clear that I am not the only fan of the animated chickadee!

Happily Ever After
(8” x 10”, oil on panel)

My husband is an avid bird feeder. Over the years we have gone through countless pounds of sunflower seeds, peanuts, Niger seed and suet. So, naturally, I became an avid bird watcher. Painting wildlife is a far cry from painting still life; these chickadees simply don’t hold still. Accordingly, I will leave accuracy to Audubon, and paint my interpretation of these personable little birds.

These small works are a huge departure from my usual subject matter and technique; in fact I consider these pieces a kind of vacation. I hope you have as much fun viewing these as I am having painting them! And because they are so different from what I normally do, any comments will be very helpful.

A.M. and P.M.
(12” x 12” each, oil on canvas)

I painted these two small pieces simultaneously to study the effects of working light to dark, and dark to light.
