AUDUBON BIRD PAINTING (SPOTTED TOWEE) (SOLD)

 WE HAVE BRID FEEDERS THAT ARE OUTSIDE MY STUDIO WINDOW AND I AM ABLE TO GET SOME GREAT SHOTS OF SOME OF THE BRIDS.  THE SPOTTED TOWEES ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE

 ALL THE 6X6 PAINTINGS ONLY COST $40. WHICH IS A HUGE BARGAIN FOR ORIGINAL ART.

ANOTHER NEW BIRD "GIRLY GIRL BIRD"

"TOWEE IN THE PINK" ($100.)

New bird... oil and collage.  Size 8x8 on a gessoed cradled board.   The striped backgound is an old piece of wallpaper I found in my collage material.  The color of the stripes are slightly more pink, but I couldn't get the camera to get the color right. Another reason I am not too happy with my fairly new Canon camera..UGH!  I even spoke to the Canon customer service person, who I felt knew less than I did about the color issue.

AUDUBON WILD ARTS FESTIVAL

Yesterday I attended the Audubon Wild Arts Festival. The first two photos are how the donated 6"x6" canvas are displayed. My piece is on the first picture third row down, second one in. My friends Wendy and Dave Dehart also did pieces for the show and Dave's was blown up and placed in the circle above on one of the displays. As always there are marvelous birds on display and lovely handlers giving in- formation about the birds and why they have to live in captivity, usually because humans have stepped into their lives and have wanted to make a pet out of the bird or they come injured to the society. This was a beautiful female owl on display.

SONG BIRD COLLAGE (SOLD)

SOLD

Another collage, I seem to be working in geometric patterns with my collages lately.

Small Daily Paintings ( NINE SOLD )

These paintings are all small from size 5"x 7" to 8"x10" for a show I am doing in August called "Art Festival in the Forest".  I don't have cards of my work to sell; so I thought I would try doing a daily small painting and rather then frame them I would mat them and put them in a plastic sleeve.  My hope being that the smaller unframed paintings could be priced very reasonably and appeal to those people not being able to afford my larger framed works.  The single pear on the right hand board is matted as an example of what I have been trying to get done.
