Koi Ahoy!

I love painting the abstract shapes in water! There is something magical in how the eye can piece these shapes together and make it into a comprehensive, understandable painting. I will have to do more of these for I am seduced by the process!

Beside Still Waters

16 x 10" This little lady was preening herself outside my window. I love how her feathers splayed out in all directions! She was completely at home and safe. I was touched that she decided to do her grooming here!

Midas Touch

Here is the first painting of the year. And, believe it or not...it's not a miniature! This year my goal is to explore compositions on a larger scale. (Miniatures too, of course!)This is not a full sheet for I'm still not brave enough to commit to that! Perhaps the next one thoguh...It sure was fun to paint pelican again. They are such regal birds!
