Birds come to the 2012 calendar


This is pretty amazing. I have been slow in moving into this painting trying to find something that will bring excitement and delight to this pose. I had been toying with the idea of birds and just had to work on a way to render this idea. Voila! It happened. Last week I picked up a beautiful bird book at a used book store. It opened up a new world for me and allowed me to play with birds, their expressions and shapes and then create fantasy birds!!!!
Anyways, this is where I am so far. I now have so many wonderful ideas bubbling up for the paintings ahead.... butterflies, dragonflies, fish, rabbits.... am I getting carried away...????? Just stoking the imagination.
