Birdbath Gossip - SOLD

Staying Warm


This red finch was staying warm on a rainy day a few weeks ago along with many of his friends. I call this getting foofy. They puff out their feathers to preserve their body heat on a cold day. It totally changes the look of their tiny bodies. Even more cute (if that's possible). This 6 x 6 inch oil painting is available in my Etsy store.

Prairie Sunrise



I'm painting larger skies. This one is 12 x 16 inches. I'm also using bigger brushes and experimenting with gallery wrapped canvas that doesn't need a frame. This scene is a sunrise behind our house. I'm a night owl but Rich gets up early and takes photos of incredible sunrises. It's such a blessing to see these wild displays of color morning and night, day after day, This painting is available in my Etsy shop. Click here to see price and details.

Joyride - SOLD


My husband and I followed this happy dog for a while on the way home from church last Sunday. I couldn't help but think what a great painting he would be. And I had my camera that morning! This is a 5 x 7 inch oil painting available in my Etsy shop. I'm calling it "Joyride".

Sleepy Pair - SOLD


I started this painting almost 3 weeks ago when I caught a cold virus. Then several end of the month to-dos kicked in. I just finished tax prep. Now I'm feeling better and looking forward to some painting time! This is a pigeon pair who have been hanging out in our yard. They often sit on the ground which seems a bit odd. Here they are taking a nap together. This painting is available in my Etsy shop. Click here to see it and other available paintings.

Pretty Dove


 

This is an eurasian collared-dove that was sunning itself in our yard this winter. It was sitting on the ground with its partner. They seem to hang out in pairs. Its feathers are poofed out because of the cold. They are a spectacle of delicate color especially when bathed in light. This is a 5 x 7 inch unframed oil painting. It's available in my Etsy shop. I can frame this for you. Just ask : )

Bunny heaven in February : ) This 6 x 6 inch oil painting is available in my Etsy shop. Click here for more info.
