Animals! So fun to paint! It's lambing time right now, here in Sonoma County. Here's an experiment in one subject done in several media's.
I've come to really enjoy painting birds! I love the realistic center of interest with an abstract backgound.
The poem below goes with the "Ducklings" painting.
"With downy feathers,
and playful delight,
Ducklings swim ‘fore
they take flight.
In circles ‘round on
deep blue lake,
Watch them splash
and droplets make."

While I paint a particular subject, I like to read about it as well; it adds to the feeling that is transferred into the painting, and contributes to my painting enjoyment.
Painting can really be an education!
