Rose, Work in Progress

I didn't get nearly as much painting done this last week as I wanted, but... I got busy with life (well, relaxing and catching up with housework) but I think I am back into the swing of things. Tonight, I felt like trying to paint a flower again, but this time a rose.... and with bright fully saturated colours. So far, I love it! I think it is my best floral painting yet. I'm not quite finished it, though I do not anticipate it taking me long to finish a couple petals and fill in the background. Then... back to the birds!

Daisy, An Old Work in Progress

Its been a few months since I last worked on this painting, but I've decided to pick up my brushes and work a little more on this one. I apologize for the poor picture... I'll take another one after I get a bit more done and in better light. Once this one is done, I have my eye on a much larger floral painting for my walls. I'll post a work in progress when I get started...

Captured Moment (Finished) - Bird #4

The finishing touches went on this guy tonight, and other than the little feet, I'm pretty happy with it. Birds feet are hit and miss for me. Sometimes they turn out absolutely perfect and other times I just want to hide them behind some vegetation or something. I've pulled out the sketch book again and plan on practicing drawing birds feet.

Captured Moment (Almost Done) - Bird #4

Almost done this guy, but there are still a few details left to do (such as the branch he's sitting on). I wanted to post something this weekend even if it was another update on this one. Thanks for looking!
