Solitude of My Dreams - Work in Progress Step 2

The background was a little too purple for me, so tonight I added some subtle washes of blue just to tone it down a bit.  Its still a little more blue in real life.  For some reason, my scanner is picking up the purples a little too much yet.

Solitude of My Dreams - Loon Work in Progress

It has been a while since I've painted a loon and I was truely captured by a photograph posted by Alan and Elaine Wilson over at Nature's Pics Online that I just had to give it a go.  My background turned out a little more purple than I imagined, but I think I'll work on the loon for a while to see if the purple grows on me.  Otherwise, I'll add a few washes of blue to tone it down a little.

A Moment Nearly Missed - Hummingbird Watercolour Painting

It has been awhile, but I have now finished this little painting.  Though, I did struggle with the leaves and flowers.

Ice Crystals - Work in Progress

Was a busy day today and I did not get any work done on the hummingbird painting.  So, I am going to post the startings on a new oil painting that I began during the holidays.  It is based on a photograph I took last year after the ice storm of 2013.  I have so many beautiful pictures of the ice crystals against the blue sky that I had a hard time deciding which one to paint.

untitled Hummingbird Work in Progress

So, I didn't get as much done as I hoped on this little guy tonight...  I did manage to work a little on the leaves on the right side so I thought I would post what I did get done.  Leaves (and flowers) are my nemesis and someday I will master them.  Until then, I will muddle along.  They do say "practice makes perfect".

Hummingbird - untitled Work in Progress

I've started another new one... though I am struggling with is a little.  I just don't think I got the shading right on the body, though it doesn't look all that bad on my computer.  I hope to have the bird completed tomorrow and then I can begin the leaves and flowers on the right side.

Bluebird Waiting

Finished!  Though, I had a terrible time trying to get an accurate photo of this one.  This one is a bite to "contrasty" and bright, but it is fairly accurate.  I'll try to take a better photo later when my camera has charged a little.

untitled Bluebird Painting - Work in Progress

Its hard to get a good scan of this one, so I will have to try to take a picture of it tomorrow in the light.  I'm almost finished the bluebird and then a few little areas to finish on the background and the berries he is standing on.  Hopefully, when I post the update to this painting tomorrow, he will be finished.

Happy New Year - 2015 Edition

A new painting for a new year....  Well, a new started painting anyways.  I hope to make more time for painting this coming year as I know this past year I didn't nearly take the time to paint often enough.
