It's Friday, I worked a full week as an artist on various projects. Cooper had the pleasure of being my muse for a set of Artist's Trading Cards featuring him. They are packaged and ready to go in tomorrow's mail. In the meantime, here is one of the set, that I'm keeping for my collection. I just can't give away or sell this little image. It looks easy, but not so!
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.
