Daily Paintings, Small Oil Paintings, Animal and Bird Paintings
I was looking at some of my images and was really surprised to see how many bird and animal paintings I have done. I thought today would be a good day to post a few of my old time favorites.
It is always interesting and educational to review the painting journey that you have been on. I like to line up older paintings, chronologically, which helps me to see the improvements I have made and the ones I would like to make in the future. Always an interesting exercise.

Horse Portrait, "Big Red" 6x8" Oil, SOLD
I have been trying to expand my horizons by painting new subject matter. This is my second horse painting.
I have to say I did enjoy the challenge. He looked so spirited and I got excited about his red coat against a green background.
It's always fun to stretch a little, try something new. I would like to do more of these, but I think my biggest challenge will be getting interesting reference images to work from. We have plenty of horses in our neighborhood, but they usually run to the other end of the pasture when they see me approach with my trusty camera.
Do you have any special techniques for getting images of animals?

Wildlife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, "Gray Squirrel" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil SOLD
Have you ever tried to photograph wildlife? I have, and consider it an exercise in frustration. Many blurred images later, my friend and photographer, Ted Fuhrer, offered me the use of his images. Thanks so much, Ted.
This little guy looks very inquisitive and ready to bolt at the least movement.
I enjoyed experimenting with painting his fur and directing the viewer's eye. The animal is much the same color as the background in this scene.
I put it in one of my black frames. They seem to work perfectly for just about any painting.
Happy day to you!

Tropical Fish Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting
A few years ago, we visited the coral reef off Key Largo. Although I get sea sick, when the boat is not under power, I still enjoyed seeing the colorful tropical fish, and of course, the trip out and back.
Beautiful turquoise waters, stunning landscapes, fabulous wildlife.....the perfect day.
I am enjoying these palette knife paintings immensely. I have been so intense about my brush work, that I had ignored the palette knife for months. Now that I am working with it again, I am enjoying the freedom it brings.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Wildlife Painting, Robin Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 5x7" Angry Robin
Angry Bird
$99
This little guy is my upside down painting. I painted him upside down, as a drawing exercise, which is supposed to trick my brain. Ha!
I'm not sure why he is so
angry, but I think it has something to do with the fact that he may have come back to North Carolina, just a little too early. I think he is seriously thinking about turning around and heading back to Florida, because he is caught in a spring snow storm, here in the Blue Ridge Mts.
He is also my first painting, since I left my Florida home, to live here in the mountains around Asheville. I may be following him back to Florida, if it doesn't warm up here soon!
He is 5x7" on oil and looking for a home, preferably in one of the more southern, warmer spots of the world. Leave me a comment if you have to have him.
