Strutting the Run

This is a painting I did a couple of weeks ago.  Chickens have attitude.  I wish I could and get away with it.  I would like to have a couple of hens for the garden bugs and for their eggs.  Need to get my husband to make a chicken coup, after he refinishes all my gold frames to ebony.

Woke up with a migraine, took medicine and it went away.  It's coming back so I had to take more.  I'm going to lay down with my headache bag. my two puppy dogs and the remote until the pain gets better.  I hope Dr. Phil has something good on his show, I'll find out very shortly.

I finished a large pastural scene with several outbuildings and black & white cows.  I also treated myself to painting a small 3 x 3" of a rubber ducky on top of a bar of soap!  That was so much fun.  Maybe I'll do a series of rubber duckies. - Brande

    Love everything about this one; the color palette, brushwork, composition...

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.

June Daisies & A Bee

http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/61715 June Daisies & A Bee 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board   I have daisies in two different flower beds on my property.  I also have more than one area with raspberries, both black and red.  So for the past few days after supper, I've been outside picking, watering, weeding and cutting.   For today's painting, I decided to return to the garden and clip a few very fresh daisies.  I've been experimenting with painting bees and decided to add one to this piece.  What is left for today is studio cleanup and then order dinner-in from our favorite Italian takeout. My wishes for a blessed weekend go out today. - Brande

Business & Art Law take two

Business & Art Law take two 6 x 6 inches, oil on board http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/brande-arno/business-and-art-law-take-two/77676    ï»¿Something got into me with respect to my first attempt at painting these two books,  That post is just below this one.  Everything is the same EXCEPT that I scraped off the painting yesterday because I didn't like the out-come. Someone else did like it and asked about buying it.  So I repainted it today.  I was going to repaint it anyway.
