Watercolor Hummingbird l

Watercolor Hummingbird l, 2.5 x 3.5 inches

This is an ACEO or Artist Card Edition or Original.  In this case, original of a little lady Hummingbird.  I've painted this pose twice in oils.  I'm hoping to do a series of watercolor Hummingbirds.

I also was blessed to remove the net off my strawberry patch to find that the plants are loaded with berries.  OK, they're still white, but maybe in a week.  I mulched the patch and put the net back on to keep my berries protected from bugs and critters.  After more than 8 days of rain, it was so-o-o good to be outside in the garden again.

Cocco and a move

"Cocco" 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Gessoboard I have some news for those who subscribe and my collectors.  I'm moving back to Blogger.  It's been a long time and I tried another blogging venue.  It didn't work for me.  This artist has spent countless hours trying to get tech savvy.  I want to paint.  So stay tuned.  First post for 2017 coming shortly.

Bloomfield Shack in September

5 x 5 inches, Oil on Gessoboard I've painted this many times and every time I drive by the actual shack, I have to stop and look/take more pictures to work from.  It's hard to admit that one smaller shack could inspire me so much.
