paintings: a bluebird, and a cottontail

I’m loving working with brushes again. Every so often, I guess you have to change things up just to keep things feeling fresh. I’ve never been good with that out-of-focus sort of background, but I think these last couple weeks I’ve finally found success. Eastern Bluebird, 8″x8″ oil on cradled board, in my Etsy shop

We’re round the corner, heading towards 2020. Wow. Two whole decades of the 21st century already gone. Well, mostly, right? Are you ready for Christmas? Not me. Not even close.

11″x14″ oil on stretched canvas. Available in my etsy shop. I painted in this looser style a couple days this week.

paintings: a Belgian hare, and horse friends (12/04/17)

These will be the last paintings I have which will be dry and ready to ship in time for Christmas. They are in my etsy shop now.  The closer the days to the holiday, the less I trust the post office because they start tossing the boxes and that’s when I’ve seen damage in the
