Today I finished this Golden Eagle painting.  I was inspired to paint it by a resident Golden Eagle hanging out in a cottonwood tree in our yard. And since he is a "golden" eagle.   I decided to add some sparkly flecks of Alaskan placer gold to the surface. I applied the flecks with a French walnut oil.   But in a month I will affix the flecks of gold with a glossy varnish.   The painting is actually available for pre-order since I have to wait for it to dry and varnish it before I can ship it.  

Working on wildflowers and hummingbirds right now.

Although I had no intention to, my garden attracts hummingbirds, birds, butterflies, and bees. Hummingbird and alfalfa Hummingbirds love these bright colored zinnias. Start of a new painting inspired by the hummingbirds.

I have many paintings in various stages of progress and completion because I work in layers. When they are finished I will be listing many of them.
