Spring Tidings of Joy - Commission Work in Progress

I am making good progress on this commission (well, part one of three paintings) and I anticipate being done in the next day or so.  I love how its turning out, especially all the bright colours.  It is a bit more of a detailed background than I normally do, but... I think that really adds to the charm of the painting.

A Spring Commission - Untitled Chickadee Painting

I'm working on a series of three commissioned spring-ish bird paintings at the moment... this one is the first of the three.  My client has asked for something with lots of colour, and after this long never-ending winter, lots of colour is just what was needed!!!

April Showers...

Well, I can dream about them anyways. Still have snow on the yard but the days are growing longer and the temperatures are slowly warming up.  To celebrate, I'm getting back to work on a floral painting I started many moons ago. It was too grey, now it is too blue.  More tweaking to go.
