I started a series of little bird paintings. I have been creating art for my upcoming show, Wild Whimsy of the Northwoods, that will be on display at the MacRostie Art Center in June of 2020. This means I haven't had a lot of originals available for purchase as of late - and I love to share my work - especially around the holidays. I also was finding that I was getting hyper-focused on larger pieces because I didn't have another main focus, so all around I knew it was time for a new mini series to occupy my brain. I decided to focus on birds and pine cones.
My yard is very snowy, and the weather is getting rather cold, so I have been digging around for sticks for fire starter. I love how pine cones look, and though they are amazing fire starter sometimes I just can't bring myself to burn them so I stick them in a vase and look at them. I decided to brush up on my still life skills by painting pictures of them. I added some birds for a flash of joy and color during these cooler, whiter, months. And thus this sweet mini series was born.
The pieces are available for purchase ($60 a piece) and would make great gifts. I will be posting more over the next many weeks so keep your eyes peeled. For now here are the first three. Check them out and let me know what you think ❤
