Bobbie and Esther

Here are a few more photos of some of the paintings I have been working on. It has been fun drawing and painting my chickens. They can be so quirky and fun. They are surviving the winter quite well. Not sure why those legs don't just freeze off!

Bobbie and Esther are finished.

 

Started working on a couple of group paintings. This one is of Henry, Esther, Silverbutt, Bobbie, Little Blue and Etta.

 

 

 

 

I am now working on a painting with an old Volkswagen Beetle I saw on a trip out to Colorado along with Flossy and Lydia.

December Work Update

In the month of December I have been working on my chicken series using mixed media techniques. It has been fun to play with tissue paper to create texture for feathers.

This is Indigo... She is the Queen of the coop. She is the first one out of the coop in the morning, the first in in the evening and always on the top perch. I'm not sure how she got to be the top dog so to speak cuz she doesn't seem pushy or have an attitude, but she is definitely the top.

 

 

Here is the painting of Esther and Bobbie. It is not finished. Need to add some texture and contrast, but am happy with it so far.

 

 

 

Now that Christmas and New Years are over and the Kaleidoscope gallery is closed until May, I will have more time to focus on finishing my chicken series.

 

 

Snow Day

We woke up to eight inches of snow this morning!!!!! Yea!!!! There just has to be snow in heaven or I may just have to be sad there. I decided it was a good day to cozy up to the fire with a good book and stay in my jammies :) The winds are forcasted to pick up and become a blizzard in our area.

David went right out and started shoveling the chickens out, and the driveway, and paths around the house. Kind of reminded me of his dad.

I was thinking about helping him when he left in the Raider! So, I cozied back up by the fireplace. He must have been gone a half an hour. Thought maybe he got stuck or something, but no calls - as if I could do anything anyway. When he got home, he came in and asked me if I wanted to go for a drive...

Really? I'd love to!!! So off we went...blizzard a all.

It wasn't long before I realized it wasn't just a snow day, but a super testosterone kind of a day!!!! Every vehicle out was a truck or had a snow blade on it - and, all men :)

Here are some of the photos I took:

 

 

And, it wasn't until we got home that David got stuck :) :) :)
