Working through a Migraine

Muse Challenge

6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board

This is my entry into the Daily Paint works Weekly Challenge. The sponsor of the challenge posted a really nice photo with mountains and evergreens. I decided to simplify and soften the inspiration photo.

I woke up yesterday at 3:30 am with a roaring migraine, so I was down for the count with the exception of putting finishing touches on a puppy portrait. I do have medication, but it knocks me out. Today, the pain is manageable and I took up the brushes to produce this piece. With my cluster migraines I'll probably have pain even tomorrow, but over the counter medicine will work.

I'm pleased with the outcome and will post it on a www.dailypaintworks .com auction. http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/63801 - Brande

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.
