Roseate Spoonbill Miniature Painting

on
This is a new miniature that I didn't realize I hadn't posted here on the blog yet. It's a painting of a Roseate Spoonbill preening. I really thought that I could paint in a lot of mood in this piece - it's what drew me to the subject. The sketch that I made for the painting is at the bottom of this post.

Snowy Egret Sketch

on
This is a sketch of a snowy egret that was fishing a little area between the boulders on the beach for a little lunch in the Daytona Beach/New Smyrna Beach area of Florida. Some of my friends put up with me and my sister chasing all of the shorebirds down the beach with cameras. :D

Hummingbird Miniature Watercolor Progress….

This is the progress on my little hummingbird miniature watercolor that I started on the other day. It's starting to take shape. I think it will turn out well.

Hummingbird Minaiture Painting

on
I gave myself a little treat today - I started a new painting, though it is one of those pieces that I have to do. Getting started on a new piece is always refreshing. I think it's because there are so many things that can be done with a new painting. It fills your mind with all of the creative ideas and possibilities. This is a ruby throated hummingbird with wild columbine - the design sketch for the new miniature watercolor.

Miniature Iris Painting

on
New miniature iris painting - This is a really small miniature painting that is just about done now. It's one of my Irises from our garden that should be coming up this spring. :D It is pretty small - due to the 1/6th rule. For those who aren't aware, There are a lot of miniature societies around the world that have exhibitions for miniature art and one of the rules for their miniature shows is to paint 1/6th lifesize or smaller. So, this little iris is under 1".

Little Bunny Miniature Progress…

on
Here is how my new little bunny miniature painting is going. :D Note that the colors here didn't turn out as well as they often do on my scans - for some reason it looks kind of heavy and seems to have taken the 'warm fuzzy' colors out of it. Hopefully the final one will be better. It is turning out to be quite a bit like the little bunny painting that I did last spring that was 8x10. I'm not completely happy with it yet, but it's getting there.
