Who Invited You?

 

 Who Invited You?
8" x 6", pastel

Frequently, the bird bath gets a little crowded around here. Happened to catch this cardinal with a less than pleased expression....at least in my opinion. It is rare to catch a titmouse in the photo reference, they do not stay in one place very long!

Woody's Hangout


 Woody's Hangout
12" x 6", pastel

Rarely, do paintings just flow, but fortunately this one did! From sketching out the first attempt, which  was a bit too big for the size I desired, to fast sketching it on the Uart pastel paper, to pastel application this one was just fun. Besides the fact that these woodpeckers clear out my bird feeders almost daily, I do enjoy them being around.

Cheyenne

 Cheyenne
12 x 9, pastel

Sometimes the most beloved family members are just not allowed at wedding venues, such is the case for sweet Cheyenne. So if she can't be there in person, she will be in spirit and art!! I was privileged to  create this image of this sweet pup so she can 'attend' the wedding ceremony. She is a sweety!
