"Tweet over here, Tweet over there" 12-21-23 Sold at G4



5-17-23  once again i changed the background on this painting.  It's become one of those annual chores i have, to make older paintings more pleasant to look at.  ya think???  


Oh goodness, call me a bird brain...  i had fun doing this.. the only true color is on the cardinal, i think..  also love the Tweeting aspect of it..   painted in acrylic which gave me the option to smear color all over the place.. 

10-18-21..  OK, Call me weird..  our theme wall at Gallery4 for Dec is "May Heaven and Earth Sing"//  Couldn't think of what to paint..  Birds Sing..  they don't just tweet..   I added some musical symbols and opened a couple of beaks.  wah la..
  
3-19-22  OK, you blog followers, if there are any, ...  i once again repainted this one.  I moved some tails. Modified and simplified the background .. i really enjoy revisiting my work.  My art work, that is. not dusting or cleaning or anything like that.

We Are Sitting Ducks SOLD @ Gallery4

Painted this acrylic yesterday using a photo i took sometime on one of our trips..  Not that enthused about painting birds, but liked their stances..  i googled ducks to see what kind they were and WOW there are some colorful ducks out there.. these are wood ducks..so:
" what would a wood duck do if a wood duck would duck?"

Retired? From What?

Once again, i enjoyed sketching these folks from a photo of mine..  yes, that is us, Carl and Judi.. at a gathering at the lake probably 20 years ago..  Can't remember who the standing guy was but he fills the space nicely..

Daisies in a Pot Gifted to Ag...

Covered up a painting that a friend was going to toss..  "Gee, i can use that canvas" said I.  The stripes behind the pot showed thru and i kinda liked that...  Acrylic..

"wanna go for a drink? or stop and buy a flower?? new title is "Street Fair Exit" isn't that better???

I used the "paint a grid" technique one this one.. haven't done that in a long time.. as usual, my colors were too dark.. gave me a little trouble. Had to use some gouache to tone it down & to recover flesh tones.  The couple on the left is recognizable from a photo i took years ago in my home town, during a street fair.. Right side is out of my imagination..
