Barnyard Bubba

Barnyard Bubba
Oil  8x10

I wanted to share with you my favorite rooster painting to date, Barnyard Bubba.  I love the light I was able to capture on him and hope that it shows up well on your monitor in spite of my poor photography skills. 
I knew as soon as I looked at the photograph for this one what the title of the painting would be.  He's quite hefty and self-assured, so I know he has total command of the barnyard.  
Have a blessed day!

Twins

Twins
Oil  5 x 5  
Gallery Wrap Canvas

I got a little heavier with the brush strokes on this and liked the effect. So far, I've painted 5 bird nests this spring and enjoyed every one of them.  
My brother and dad were cleaning up the garage getting ready for our big family Easter dinner when they discovered a bird had built a nest in one of dad's garden baskets he had stored away.  When I arrived, they proudly presented it to me for my collection and I was thrilled with my new nest!  I may have to paint the basket too because I'm not sure if I can remove it intact.  Something to contemplate.  
The trees are quickly leafing out here in north Georgia.  It's amazing how quickly spring unfurls once it gets started.  Have a wonderful week!

New Life


New Life
Oil 6x6

Does anyone remember when we got baby chicks for Easter when we were children?--poor baby chicks.  But they were so adorable, soft and fluffy.  Who wouldn't love a sweet baby chick.  This little fellow was so much fun to watch it come to life on the canvas.  I enjoyed it so much, I immediately painted a second one. 
Wishing you all a blessed Good Friday and Easter Sunday!

Daffodil

Daffodil
Oil  6x6

Another beautiful sign of spring!  I have always loved daffodils--their beautiful colors and ruffled edges, but probably a big reason I get pretty excited when they start unfolding is because they are one of the first flowers to slow their beautiful face.  When they start blooming, I know spring time is just about to burst forth in all it glorious splendor!  I love you Daffodil!
