At Daily Paintworks there is a paint your under ware challenge. Well, I'm not painting my under ware, but I do remember the under ware of my childhood called Lollipops. I believe they are still made, but hard to find...anyway the girls wanted me to paint them wearing Lollipops and flying to lollipops made with Honey. Of course!

So here they are and they'll be up for auction.

The Rare Snowman

The Rare Snowman, 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Panel Sold - Thank you! It's a warmer day today and the one snowman in the neighborhood is not faring well.

Double Take

Indigo Bunting, 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Board Click to Bid I'm fortunate to have a mated pair of Indigo Buntings visiting my bird feeder. I say that because I've had the bird feeder for over 10 years and my first sighting was last week. The male of this species sports stunning ocean blue feathers...some teal in there also. I paint with a very limited palette, so I was challenged to come up with the right mixtures. But it wasn't very long before I realized that mixing the right "Indigo" color wouldn't be enough. So I subdued everything else, to include his cute little beak.
