Baby Got Beak

Acrylic 5" x 7" $55.00

Hello, "Baby Got Beak" was painted for the http://www.dailypaintworks.com/ value challenge. The challenge for acrylic painters was to paint in black, white, and gray. You could only use a smidge of one, a larger amount of another, and then the final color was to be the majority. In my case I chose the white in the eye as my smidge and gray as my majority. I just got done looking at this weeks challenge and "Oh Wow" does it look hard. I shall put it off for a bit.

MEJIRO

MEJIRO Sold

Hello, "Mejiro" is the first http://www.dailypaintworks/ challenge that I painted for. The challenge was to paint for an auction, whose proceeds would benefit Japan, after the tragic earthquake and the terrible consequences from it. The subject should remind you of home. I chose to paint a bird that is native to Japan in front of the red circle of their flag. These birds, also known as the Japanese White Eye, are very popular in Japan and often come to their back yards. I posed Mejiro on a branch with a cherry blossom flower that is just beginning to open. I really did like this painting and I was happy to see that it sold in the DPW auction.
