Eleven Eggs
This contemporary oil painting is on a 18" x 18" gallery wrap canvas. This is my favorite size canvas to work on. I just went and purchased more from the art supply store, and I was telling the sales person that 16" x 16" is too small and almost ordinary, and 20" x 20" is too big. But the 18" x 18" seems to be just right!
This painting was in the National League of American Pen Women Expressions Juried Art Show in December, and was awarded First Place. The nest is colorful, with bold brush strokes. The placement of the nest is off-center (another characteristic of my paintings) and placed as if it were falling off the canvas. That makes the nest more interesting than if it was smack-dab in the middle of the canvas.
If you would like to view other nest paintings, please go to my blog or website. I have painted a series of them...Empty Nest, Three Eggs, Four Eggs, Nest on Branch...just to name a few. Thanks for view my art!!!
