Right Look Chickadee

"Right Look Chickadee" 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Gessoboard

Sold, Thank you

What can I say...I love these wonderful little birds.  We have a park close by where in the winter, the Chickadees will eat seeds from your hand.  The leaves are starting to turn and I tried to incorporate a little Autumn in this piece.

On another note,  I'll be spending  October 2 - 5 painting plein air in Geneva, New York which is part of the Finger Lake's Wine Trail.   I'm a charter artist of this event and really look forward to painting outdoors with nature all around me.

I'll try to post my plein air paintings daily.

Cocco and a move

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.
