English Robin Taking A Break Bird Art Aviary Painting



English Robin Taking A Break
6" by 6" original oil on canvas
150.


Ever had a dream that you could fly?  I have had them and they are AWESOME!  I flew over England at night in one of my dreams...flew right by Big Ben!  Some times I am indoors in a room with a really tall ceiling.  O.k., maybe I am a bit odd but sometimes I envy birds and the freedom to soar through the sky.  It just looks like so much fun.  Lately I have been having these dreams more often...wonder if there is any kind of deep meaning?  I love these little plump colorful robins.  They are my favorite birds  and they always make me smile!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start and that you are doing something fun.  I am meeting a friend for lunch to catch up and then taking some paintings to be framed for a new gallery that will be representing me at the beach called Stravitz Gallery.  Yeah!  I hope to do more larger pieces for them.  Whenever you see a small painting that you like but might like to see it in a larger size, just send me an email at normasart@cox.net for a price and we can work out the details.  I can also do something from your photograph or idea too!

Hope your weekend has been great.  I have had a quiet one at home with my dog and cat and finally got back to my easel after taking a bit of time off.  It felt kind of awkward for awhile but one I began working on this little guy...I felt like I was back in the groove.  It was fun getting that extra hour sleep last night but now it feels like I should be going to bed and it is only 9:30!  It will be nice to have it

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
The Wheel of Life (Scribner)
I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame of that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other.

Red Robin Looking Proud


Red Robin Looking Proud

8" by 8" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.
“If I can stop one Heart from breaking I shall not live in vain If I can ease one life the Aching Or cool one Pain Or help one fainting Robin Unto his Nest again I shall not live in Vain”
Emily Dickensen

I thought this was a beautiful quote about one of my favorite birds! Who can resist their red breasts and great energy that welcome spring with their song?

I worked on this piece using both brush and palette knife. I love how the grays in the background help accent the robin and all his bright color!


Today was spent doing one of my favorite things....painting all day in my studio! I am celebrating spring with paintings of birds and will be posting a sea gull tomorrow as summer is coming soon! I am meeting a good friend for dinner tonight and shopping for something to wear to my son's graduationt his weekend. He had his last exam today so he has successfully finished all his work! Next year is my youngest son's last year in high school so his time is not too far behind.

This painting is available at Gallery 5800 in Richmond on Grove Avenue!

Norma Wilson Original Oil English Robin Bird Art


6" by 6" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted. It is currently on auction on eBay.

I really enjoyed painting this little English Robin. He look so puffy and happy! Most of today I was planning a portrait class I am teaching tomorrow. I found a wonderful face of an elderly woman in a colorful headress to use as a reference. I love doing faces of any kind and really had fun preparing for this class. Many people fine faces intimidating and frustrating at first but if you break it down into shapes and a variety of darks and lights, it becomes easier. It is also helpful to turn the face upside down so you don't focus on the fact that is's a face so much! Hope your week is going well! Click to Bid!
