Happy Paint Party Friday ! june 15th 2012

this is the start
 of a new series of paintings
 using my palette knife and oils

this is an 8 by 10 canvas board

here is the first stage of it
I started painting it on a whim,
while I was sitting in my booth at the Lebanon art festival.
People love to watch someone painting something- anything
especially kids who want to be artists too.
and kids love birds

 second stage of the Bluebird painting
 I think I may just leave it like this -
very raw and sketchy but I 
kinda like it like that
what do you all think ?
I also made a owl for a family member this week

Happy painting and come join
 all the art lovers at the Paint Party here

I love it, its so textured and bright, I love the little owl you made for the friend, I have mine sitting beside me always, even my grandson calls it my Kat owly because you gave it to me, I keep on the table beside me when I paint, it watches over me,

I LOVE the owl, it's like a 3D painting with all of that texture. How talented you are, to move from painting to clay. Happy PPF!

Texture always pulls me in.
We saw a family of nine little burrowing owls yesterday! Adorable. Yours is cute too!
HPPF!

It has a very impressionistic look which I really like. The owl is very cool, too!

Debbie said...

when i was younger, i liked "perfect"/"cookie cutter" stuff!! now i love real art, that is different and relevant!!
