2014 Christmas Cardinal No.1

"2014 Christmas Cardinal No. 1" 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Gessoboard Sold, Thank you

It's snowing outside and my woods have been transformed into a winter wonderland. Normally first snow results with me gazing out the window with wonderment and awe. This year, I'm reacting in fear with shock and awe.

See, I haven't fully recovered from the winter of 2013 -2014. That winter was RUDE. That winter was MEAN. That winter was a BULLY. Wait a minute! I haven't fully re-absorbed all that stress hormone, cortisol...I need more time.

So, even though I've filed a complete and detailed complaint, it's still snowing. A better use of my time would be to paint a Christmas Cardinal. Just like there's more snow in my future, so will it go for my Christmas Cardinal Paintings.

Cardinal Conclave

ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches Watercolor, $ 18. Buy with Paypal As of this posting the Roman Catholic Cardinals are still in conclave to discover the next pope. I'm not Roman Catholic but I do have a wonderment about the this process because it's so entwined in mystery. This little watercolor Cardinal was at my bird feeder where he grabbed a sunflower seed and quickly flew to a tree limb to perch and enjoy. After which he waits his turn to return.

Little Dee, No.1

Little Dee, No. 1 - Oil on Canvas, 2 x 2 inches with Easel $20. Buy with Paypal This is an experiment to force myself to say more with less. Painting with less brushwork because I have to! Also, I don't paint on canvas, so I have to get use to that. But I am having fun.
