Hello, strangers!

Little House in the Trees
oil on canvas, custom order
9 x 12"

I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I've posted. Since my two Holiday shows I haven't had much time for painting. I had these two custom orders to fill and once those were out the door it was *poof!* Holiday overdrive. Now that Christmas is over, I feel like I can share them with you without spoiling any surprises. I now feel like I have been in motion for too long. Time to settle in and get situated before welcoming the New Year.

Nesting

It's Wednesday, but I don't have a watercolor to show. I do have this little guy I painted yesterday, though. I love seeing little birds with their beaks full of bits for nesting.

The last in my trio of Spring bird portraits. I really enjoyed adding some colorful backdrops for these little guys!

Hummer

I am having fun painting bird "portraits" this week. I plan on putting metal hanging loops on the back once they're dry so they can be hung as is. I took a week off from Unlaced postcards to recharge a bit, but will be back at it next week...although with jury duty looming, I can't make any promises!
