Winter Waiting - Original Watercolor

Taking a break from chickadee's with a cedar waxwing. I love the bright warm colours on these guys, especially against the cool blue sky.

Golden Glow

I'm having a hard time capturing the colours correctly in this painting for some reason. Its a little too red, the sky should be a tad more blue. I'll have to try taking a photo tomorrow in natural light and skip the scanner.

Best Friends - Chickadee Painting

Another chickadee.... having fun with these guys. I love watching them on my bird feeder in my backyard just about as much as I love painting them!

Holiday Chickadee - Chickadee Painting

I thought I would get a little head start on the Christmas themed painting this year. Last year I didn't finish my holiday card painting until the middle on November which meant I was completely rushed trying to get my cards out. Not this year. Yah! Now, I can do my cards in a completely non rushed fashion with a nice hot cup of coffee.

Fall Colours - Chickadee Watercolour 4 x 6 Painting

Another chickadee painting... Having fun painting these guys. It's been a while since I have painted much and these guys are always fun to get back into the mode of painting. I like to think of them as my muse.

Morning Dew - Chickadee Painting

I started this one quite some time ago.... So long ago, I actually can't remember when I started it. Well, tonight, this little guy is finished, and varnished. I also added a touch of glass bead medium to the leaves and flower buds... Kinda like the dew first thing in the morning.
