Aren’t quail charming? I love to see them, even when I know they’re eating my strawberries in the garden. I painted from a reference photo shared by Donna Kooren.

painting: zen toad
This little guy’s feet interested me. He looks like he’s meditating, all wrapped up in his zen peace. Plus look at those eyes–just out of this world. I painted from a reference photo shared by Hannah Hoffeditz.

painting: bluebird
Little birds are so sweet, so charming–perfect harbingers of summer. The exuberant colors of a bluebird feel extra cheery to me. I painted from a reference photo shared by Dan Barrick.

painting: colorful horse
I let all the colors flow organically, without any planning. Or, which is to say, I started with a little bit of planning but that fell apart right away and it just painted itself. I love how it turned out. I painted from a reference photo shared by Nadi Spencer

painting: cottontail
I think when I started this bun, I expected him to turn out more brown. Somehow all the blue/gray crept in. Funny how that happens, all on its own. Sometimes I’m just as surprised how these turn out as are you. 🙂 I painted from a reference photo shared by Linda MacMillan.

painting: pug
I had a day where I tried to paint expressively, with lots of colors. This happy little guy flowed right off my brush.

painting: mama & me llama
I painted with a very free style, trying to capture the fuzziness of these alpaca. Yes, it strikes me now that they are alpaca and not llama. Sigh. Any opinions which one they are? I painted from a reference photo shared by Bari Padgett.

painting: duckling
I was interested in the reflections in the water, and the fuzziness creating the halo around the ducky. Such an innocent moment. I painted from a photo shared by Les Liddle.

painting: fox portrait
I called this one “firework,” because in person the colors really pop and burst outwards. The photo does not quite capture this, I’m not sure why. I love those eyes.

I bought a lot of these wood boards to use just before the price of wood started skyrocketing. When I went to replenish my supply, I saw they are being hit by the price increase. Believe me, I am not pricing these higher than canvas paintings just because I think I deserve a raise–the wood really does cost more. If wood keeps going up, I’m going to have to switch back to canvas-only, because even medium-sized wood board is getting crazy expensive. Too bad, because I’m really liking the texture of painting on wood.
I painted from a photo shared by Alison Ingram. Didn’t she capture him in the most captivating moment?
