Canary
Reference Photo
Last year I went to Florida to teach a Paint Party (read about that here) and met Canary. Canary was found covered in yellow paint, thus the name Canary. This lucky cat fell into the lap of luxury! I started the painting right after I returned from Florida but just got around to wrapping it up.

Robin’s Eggs in Bird Nest
Today we are introducing a new feature – eBay auction for some original paintings. From time to time we will list art on eBay and it starts with today’s painting of this little Robin’s Egg Bird Nest. It’s an acrylic on 6″x6″ gallery wrap canvas. If we get this right you can click on this link or on the photo and go to eBay to bid (or buy) this original work of art. (UPDATE on June 6: This painting SOLD on eBay. Thanks!)
And thanks for looking!

Kids Paint Bluebells
Bluebell Reference Photo with Lincoln and Jed
Almost every morning I walk my dogs along a path at the Shenandoah River down to the Dog Park. They love it and so do I. It’s a beautiful place in any season but it’s particularly lovely right now as the Bluebells are blooming. I posted several photos on my Facebook page earlier this week (check that out here) and everyone thought it would make a great painting. So at Kid’s Painting class yesterday they painted it. Great job everyone!

I am working on a commission of a series of small fruit paintings.Here are the first ones. I showed you the cherries earlier this week and the change in background color. (See it here.)
Now here they are almost finished along with the two apple paintings. Each is 5″x7″, acrylic on canvas. Now I need to work on the two pear and two grape paintings. Then I will put the final touches on all of them. Look for them soon!
