Finished dogwood painting

The dogwood painting is finally done. It was fun. The white flowers were a bit of a challenge with the dry brush watercolors, but in the end they came out just as I had wanted them. I used a lot of glazing layers in them to give them a soft glow. I changed the positioning of the sparrow slightly giving him a more natural perch from the original sketch.

The Barred Owl Has Landed

I just finished the Barred Owl and I am very pleased with her. They are not the most colorful of birds. Mainly brown, grey and white. But I was able use some blues here and there along with the green back ground to make the browns pop a little more. The deep brown of the eyes draw you in and hint at a world that you could lose yourself in. I think I'm going to call her Athena.

Sleeping Bunny Painting

I just finished the sleepy little fellow and listed him on Ebay for auction. He looks pretty comfy tucked into that clover. Maybe I'll join him for a nap.
