Bird Painting,Bird Lover's Gift, Home Wall Decor, Baby Birds on Branch Artwork, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, SOLD, 6x18x1.5" Oil on Canvas SOLD

Three baby birds, ready to take the big leap!

SOLD

It has been awhile since I have painted on a regular schedule.

I doubt I am the only one.

Maybe, just like the baby birds, we need to take a leap of faith before we can soar.

Appalachia Oil Painting, Blue Ridge Mountains, Summer Landscape, 11x14x1.5" Original

It looks like summer in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  As our lives change from day to day, Mother Nature is telling us,that all will someday be well.  The earth is surviving very well without us, thank you, and it is up to us humans to change our routines as life will go on, with or without us.

Purchase here


I would prefer it went on with us!

Although the Blue Ridge Parkway was closed, for some time, it is now open and giving people in the area a place to drive and walk and enjoy nature.

This is an 11x14" original oil painting.  The 1.5" deep sides are painted black, allowing it to be hung with or without a frame.

Stay safe!

Flower photos for you to use

I stumbled across this old post, and thought I would show it again, as it seems very cheerful, during these trying times.  Enjoy!

Last month we were enjoying our condo in North Carolina, trying to get it ready for visits from family and friends.  It is so beautiful here during at least three of the four seasons.  I have not been here in winter and cannot speak to that, although I imagine the snow covered mountains would be a sight to behold.

On this trip, there are flowers blooming everywhere.  Each morning, I set out for a walk, with my trusty camera in hand.  Come along with me.......

A garden of hosta
Calla Lily
Rose abound!
Begonia
A cute little playhouse, or maybe a gardening shed?
Sit for a moment and enjoy the scenery.
Mountains surround the area,
Who knew day lilies grown wild?
I love purple flowers.  Do you know their name?




My goal is to interpret many of these scenes in oil in the coming months




Thanks for reading my blog today.

Colorful Abstract Art, Textured Home Wall Decor, Daily Painting, 8x8x3", SOLD

Today is gray, foggy and damp, so I decided to post the most fun painting I could find.


SOLD




You know how I love color and texture and this little painting has it all.

I painted it on a 8x8x3" canvas, so even the shape is unique.  It's chunky and cute and it resides on a bookshelf , where it brightens the whole room.  I cannot help but smile each time I look at it.

The canvas was a mistake.  I did not realize how deep it was when I ordered it.  What could I possibly do with it?  Well, for this painting, I think it is perfect!

Have a fantastic day!

It is always interesting and educational to review the painting journey that you have been on.  I like to line up older paintings, chronologically, which helps me to see the improvements I have made and the ones I would like to make in the future.  Always an interesting exercise.

Have a painterly day and thanks for visiting!

Small Cat Painting, Daily Painting, Green Eyed Kitty, Daily Painting,





This cat lives at our local art supply store.  My art group, Pieces of Eight, would meet there each week, and we spend the morning creating, visiting, challenging.....and then have lunch together.






SOLD


 Kitty loves to interact with us, jumping in the middle of our paintings, climbing into our art bags, doing her cat thing.  Usually mid morning, she climbs into her favorite sleeping place....an artist browser.  For those of you who don't know, it is a canvas sling, much like a hammock.  That is where I snapped a photo of her, which of course, woke her up.

Can you tell, fom her expression, that she seems less than happy with me?

My art on Disney Channel, Otter painting, Animal Artwork, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting

I am please to announce that Disney Channel has purchased this artwork, as set design to be used on their hit show "Coop and Cami Ask the World.

Otters are one of those cute little animals that we all love to feel have human characteristics.  The way they float on their backs, using their bellies for  a table.  I once read they link paws when they sleep, so they will not float away from each other.  I wonder if they still do that, in these days of COVID and social distancing.


purchase here

 It will come to you ready to hang.  The print extends around the sides of the canvas, no frame is required.
