Webbing was on my list for tonight. I added some foot and leg details to the ruddy duck's foot / leg and started adding a bit more dark shadow to the lower tail for preparation in adding the lighter lower tail feathers. #oiloncanvas #painting #art #artist #duckart #wildlifeart
Here's the stopping point for the roseate spoonbill in water for today. I'll start back on it again when it's more dry. Pretty good progress for now. #art #painting #wildlifeart #oiloncanvas
Tonight I am working on the tail feather highlights with a very thin white. After it dries I'll apply a semitransparent color over the top. #oilpainting #art #originalart #duckart #wildlifeart #painting
The original artwork "Petal Pusher" is now available online. This is a Costa's #hummingbird sitting with alliums created with #colorpencil on a type of stiff paper with a sand texture. Prints are also available: https://t.co/Ha5IFRUHxV #artforsale #originalart
Working on the water for the spoonbill this evening. I got a swath of it filled in quite a bit. #oilpainting #artwork #wildlifeartist #wildlifeart #art #painting
Working on the water for this spoonbill. I'm not sure what possessed me to do this much water. I'm taking on a challenge. #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #art #artist #oilpainting
I got a chance to work on the box a little more tonight. It's the the color blocking stages so it will look a bit cartoon like for a while until I can get more coats done. #wildlifeart #artist #originalart
Finally finished! A million petals later and I'm done with this Costa's hummingbird with allium flowers. I'll send this to the printers and then the original will be for sale soon. I'll post when available. #originalartwork #wildlifeart #hummingbird
Background colors going in a little at a time. #acrylicpainting for the Goldfinch box.
Creating a Cohesive Background
The left before the branch, the middle, and the right after the kite now all have the scrub grass with flowers. This pattern of grasses helps to create the idea that there's a definitive fauna flora where this white tailed kite lives. #oilpainting
