Doin’ stuff, makin’ things.

If you haven’t been following me on Instagram, you may have missed some new pieces I’ve been making….

Had some fun using instrument strings to add some pizazz to this little painting…

And then there’s this little watercolor painting of a bird eating berries…

Bird Eating Berries

that’s it for now, I’m very much looking forward to 2019. There will be collabs with most of my usual friends and also I’m excited to finish some larger artworks that I’ve been working on lately!

I finished a quail painting in watercolor recently. Largest watercolor I’ve ever done I think! It’s 22″ x 30″.

I have a family of quail living in my backyard who I see every day so I feel like this piece just had to be done.  Quail are amazing, they can walk and peck at the ground straight out of the egg!!! Mom and Pop are are always close to keep watch and shuffle the chicks into the bushes when they sense any danger, but I still get to see them a lot since I put out seeds for the birds and have a birdbath appropriate for the ground birds. 🙂 🙂  Anywho, so yeah… here’s some pics of my quail inspired piece! 🙂

And some inspiration photos I took of the quail that live in my yard. 🙂

Working on some larger artworks and so far it’s bird themed (no surprise there, I’ve been doing a lot of birds in general lately). Thought I’d share a pic or two. I don’t usually do open canvas style artworks, but I wanted to experiment with it and see how it goes. I’m liking it a lot so far.  Here’s one example of what I’ve been working on, a portrait of our backyard robin.
