Pretty Boy Cardinal-finished!

HI, I just finished "Pretty Boy Cardinal",ok,:) I may change the name but that's what I call him. He comes to the feeder and sits on the wild rose bush in the yard. You know, I love to paint first thing in the morning. I didn't plan to add the holly it just happened. I picked it from the American Holly in our front yard. We have quite a few here in the forest. It seemed to add that little bit of color to that corner. talk to you soon, Diana
Tip: if you need to make sure the colors match,place the leave on your palette as you mix to see if it matches!
Spinal Headache continues -7weeks 3 days. Can you believe it!--That's why I'm not painting as much.. but I will continue painting and yes(I'm miserable but trying) it will go away! thanks for your love.

Cardinal Sketching! Happy New Year to you!

Happy New Year! Wishing each of you and your loved ones a wonderful year of blessings and health. I've been sketching a little,so here is Rudy,our 15 year kitty. She doesn't like this cold weather. Today we had maybe 10 snowflakes. They were lovely. I sketched a male cardinal onto this pour. He and his mate have been enjoying the bird feeders in the backyard. One feeder is half a pumpkin with Christmas ribbon as it's handle hanging from the flower hook. Haven't been able to do much. The Spinal headache continues. 6 weeks and one day. I just want it to go away.. and I know it's healing..ah well. I'm pleased I got this sketched. Hope to pick up the brush tomorrow. Take care, Diana

Spinal Headache continues...

Spinal headache continues. I can't get much done. I have to lay flat as much as possible to get rid of it. Hope it heals soon.. Pain pills help but still can't paint like I want. I will get my commissions done. Just a tiny painting I worked on in 15 minute increments. Talk to you soon, I hope. Diana
