The first painting was inspired by a little bird that happened upon my window sill on the 6th floor. His mom kept flying away and periodically came to provide him with some food. The second painting was inspired by a photo of an exotic toucan.

This weekend I virtually visited Japan. I browsed a number of photos of Wisteria Tunnel which is in Kawachi Fuji Gardens, in Kitatyushu, Japan. I have never been to Japan so I traveled via the Internet… This painting is based on multiple photos and my own impressionistic style.

This was done in multiple layers. First I did the dark wash in the background. Then I applied Masking Fluid. Then I rubbed off the excess and the next day I painted in the flowers/swirls of color.

When I saw this photo I really liked this guy. He is an Eastern Towhee–looks like he should have the name Harvey. Say hello to Harvey. These birds are related to sparrows.

This painting is based on an original photo taken a week ago. The crane chick grows 1 inch a day. I saw “Fuzz Crane” today, and his legs are already getting long relative to his body. Very cute little chick.
In addition to having my tent full of art for exhibition, I did have an area set aside for little ones to color and THAT was a hit. My friend Anabella helped me throughout the day and her son, Gabib, is here managing the kiddie table. He did an awesome job. We had a lot of customers. And when it was too hot and the crayons were melting, we brought the table, chairs and venue inside the tent. My 3-D paintings (Atlantic Puffin and Koala Brothers) were the most popular.
Gabib and two other future artists are coloring my painting outlines.
