Progress shots of the sparrow. It's good to be holding a paintbrush again
The painting feels like a mix of reality and abstract (if there is such a thing lol!). I love mark making, creating a form with expressionate brush strokes (& trying not to correct them)
Will continue..x
My initial marks, to me are like a blueprint to the final painting.
I've started to feel my way and put the first placement colours/tones down to see if I can capture the essence of the little sparrow.
Oil on board - freehand painting
Will see what happens

I've been working on goose in oil - I had actually painted it over the top of a sanded down painting of a badger.
Quite a difficult painting due to the close tonal/colour range.. will now leave the painting to the side to 'rest' & work on at a later date #workinprogress #oil
Difficult to photograph, as the camera is picking up colours & making them stronger. I will put the seagull down to allow the oil paint to dry & will hopefully add another layer. All I want to capture is flight with that look for prey!

Two close ups of a painting I have started today ...... will leave you to guess what the animal is ....

I've started to paint over the top of an old painting of an owl, as I wasn't happy with it.
Feeling happier with it, as there are some exciting brush marks. Will see what happens with this painting.

Second Jackdaw - work in progress.

I love the intent stare - makes me laugh

Finished........ will wait now to allow the painting to dry and varnish with an Exhibition Varnish.
Will take a photo when framed and ready for sale.
