New tropical bird original paintings will be available on my website starting Sunday, January 14! Is winter getting you down?   Bold and sunny tropical paintings can brighten any space and add a pop of color.

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 listing new birds with autumn leaves and scenes all this month

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.

Honeysuckle is blossoming now.  Inspiring me to paint in these lovely warm and soft pinks.
