I got the Painted Bunting bird painting done! The 4th in the group of four, and it took forever to get this 4th one done.

I added a new completed bird painting to the oil painting gallery today. It’s been in the works for a while, but now its done. The Great Tit painting. If you get a chance check out the whole gallery. The plan is to do 2 more of these birds for a set of 4. Right now I have begun a new portrait for a commission. That one is taking a bit more perseverance but it is well on its way. No pics of it yet as it is not at a point that is presentable yet. Another project that I am beginning is my ideaRead More →
