Did this daisy sketch while the kiddos were at school.  This morning was busy in the studio!  Now a week of kids off school for fall break.  Better set my alarm clock to get some time to paint before they wake up.

I believe these are fairy finches.. I just can't get over how cute they are.  I have been painting birds even though I am primarily known for painting flowers and I am hooked!  They are like flowers with wings.  Thanks for looking!

Robin in the Rain

So it was a rare, rainy day in Scottsdale today.  And as I sat and thought about what I was going to paint suddenly a robin came to mind!  Nothing to deep.. 

But then I thought about all the rainy days I looked out my window in Vancouver, Canada where rain is as common as Sunshine is here, I thought wow so many memories.  Robins in my yard pulling up worms in the rain!  Funny but I guess sometimes birds remind us of places or even people.  

P.S.

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

Summers Friend

I have been thinking of painting a hummingbird for so long it's been driving me crazy!! I love watching them eat and play in my backyard.  They tease each other and chase larger birds!  This little guy makes me happy!  Hopefully I don't sound too crazy actually writing this.

Have a great day!
