#MerryChristmasEveryone! #Holiday cheer, gifts in which at least the thought counts, time with #family in which no arguments erupt, and maybe there's even snow on the ground. There's a dusting here!
#ChristmasDay, my #baby's first #Christmas! Some photos thereof, that I have made more accurate, a new digital #painting of a #parrot, a quiet morning, snow on the ground... And a cold. Almost couldn't be better, except for that stupid cold.
Last night, as a Merry Christmas to myself, I did this #painting of a #macaw, one of the most #beautiful and intelligent #parrots in the world. Another addition to my many paintings of #birds. #MerryChristmas, everybody!
@ngadc It was his work that caused me to make a similar scene (mine was more of a doodle) several years ago. More of a modern scene. Not as awesome. But was fun to do.
Obviously they wont arrive b4 #Christmas, but there's still time to get these exquisite #oil #paintings, and benefit some wonderful causes, like the World Wildlife Fund. Ebay link in profile. #art #charity #nature #naturalhistory #winter #iceage #hawk #mammoth #mountain
As an oil painter, I've found the transition into digital #art to be an interesting one. Even using @CorelPainter, which I think is the most natural for traditional #artists, you dont just paint you subject, but instead you paint an oil painting of your subject.
@metmuseum When I was a kid, my mother had a calendar of Chinese landscapes, and I became hooked. Love the style. Sometimes I even add a little Chinese-landscape inspired flavor to my own art.
Art that depicts some of the most compelling stories of #history. An #ancient #Egyptian priest defacing a statue of Akhenaten, #Viking #ships arriving on a beach, #Confederate troops surrendering during the #CivilWar. Great gifts for the #historian you love. In my Ebay.
