Blue Songbird

More birds and another paint over.  This time I painted over Pink Candy.

"Where are the children?"

Two crows discuss the change in nest contents.  Repainted oil on canvas 12" x 16" originally posted here.  For better or worse, I'm adding birds to a lot of older paintings. 

Four New Caledonia Lorikeets

In the City

Final 7x10 pen & ink and watercolor of a 4 part series.  City is loosely based on memories of Palm Beach, Florida

Woodpecker

New 16x20 oil on stretched canvas.  This Pileated woodpecker is based on a fun photo found on the internet at http://cristinasarno.blogspot.com (link is here) set against a photo of trees I took around San Geronimo.  Although, on occasion, I have noticed acorn woodpeckers in my backyard , I haven't yet been graced with a Pileated woodpecker.  Some cool acorn woodpecker photos can be found at www.roysephotos.com (link is here)

Calla Lily

Silver point and egg tempera on marble dust on board 5x7.  New technique learned in Chester Arnold's art class.
