Painting 30 in 30 - Day 21/Bird

"A Pause in the Feast"

10" x 10"

acrylic mixed media

(acrylic, collage, watercolor)

Number 23 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days

"Cockatiel"

watercolor

almost 4" x 6"

however..

once I painted this, I realized..the tail

seems pretty important

on this birdy.

So I matted it and extended the

unseen tail on the mat.

I have seem other artists use

their matboard for

extra decoration, or illustration.

Only 7 more!

Number 11 - of 30 in 30

"Peepers - 2014"

8" x 10"

oil on canvasboard

This is Peepers, a robin, our second rehab baby bird.

WE  rescued it from sure

ill fate and were able 

to feed and help it learn to fly 

and BE a BIRD.

But that is beside the point today.

There was bound to be one

of those days -when

painting took a back seat.

.

This is the one painting I would rather not share.

It didn't photograph right, but

maybe that is because it

isn't very good, by my standards.

Short story, cat (who lives in studio and 

is an indoor cat) with lots of

feces (a fistload - sorry

for the gorey details) entangled in it's long

fur, running amok

in the studio,

leaving bits here and there, not 

to mention the smell.

Don't know how these

things happen, but it's

bound to be.

The clean-up took alot of time, it wasn't fun

and I am glad it is over.

Giving a fraidy cat a bath

on the fly - chasing a wet 

cat who isn't clean yet..OY!!

But...this is the outcome

of a painting that I

was NOT into.

It was a rather sh%# day ~

so to speak.
