Oh boy, I am feeling the burn of this thirty in thirty marathon!  Partly because I have a week coming up that I won't be able to paint so I am trying to get those paintings completed as well.  I had some fun tonight doing something that I have wanted to try with my leftover paint on my palette.  I will
try again tomorrow and share them with you next week.  TGIF!

Purchase Information

I began this painting with a wash of red paint in acrylic.  After it dried, I went to work with oils focusing on the darks and creating a strong contrast between the background and the subject's values.  I had so much fun.  I just love painting light!  I also focused on using colorful grays for relief to the brighter colors.  I do love birds!  Have you ever seen one of these birds perched out in the marsh?

I painted Barney in a class as a demo.  I think he has a bit of a Halloween thing going sneaking out of the shadows like he is.  He was fun to paint.  The class enjoyed painting pigs and like always. they each come out looking a little different and unique.  Hope your day is a great one!  Thanks for following me on my thirty day challenge.  I will still be painting often and will try to keep painting some new subjects like more people.  If you have any pictures you would like to see me paint, write to me at normasfineart@gmail.com.

I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.  ~Henry David Thoreau

This sweet little girl was surrendered at a vet's office by an owner who no longer wanted her and one of the employees fell instantly in love with her and welcomed her with open arms.  She spent many years coming to work every day and sleeping cozily curled around her "Mom's" back while she worked.  I just loved her little face and had a great time capturing it in oil.

This is my little dog, Bailee, who is my dear little companion and is twelve years old.  She does not do well with change and really was in a tizzy after my last move in December.  After about six months of stalking me every time I made a move  and crying and scratching at the door when I went out, she has finally settled in and actually loves her new life in the city.  So many runners to bark at and so many smells!  People smile when they see her and call out from there cars, and say, "Hi Benji!"  I love coming home to her every day! Hope you have a great Wednesday!

Wee Splasher!

I first saw this little girl splashing in the fountain in Savannah years ago.  I have thought about painting her many times since then but it was not until I took on this challenge that it felt like the time was right and I am so happy that I did.  I was able to relive that joy that I felt initially seeing her enjoying the magic of water on a hot summer day!
