Fashion Statement by Suzy Pal Powell

I painted this a couple of years ago, but is still one of my favorites.  It is 20x24 framed, and is available.  I started out by drawing the floral design then painting it.  Then I arranged the flamingos over it trying to get the flowers where I wanted them, then painted the flamingos and background being careful not to glaze all the floral colors back.

Bye, Bye Birdie by Kay Wyne

Bye, Bye, Birdie

8" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Abstract Palette Knife Painting

Yesterday I was playing around with some left-over paints and I wanted use my favorite palette knife (#24).  I had plenty of hot pinks, reds, cad orange, and cad yellow to start with.  There are three shades of Gamblin's Portland Greys....light, medium and dark....so had those to mix with some blues and violets for the birds.  I used some impasto for the thick applications so that it would dry faster.  This little 8" x 8" is my first birdie palette knife painting.  It was fun!  I had a great day yesterday, selling two paintings.  Contact ME for purchasing information.  This little panel would look great propped up on an easel.  This is day #8 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge.  Thanks, Kay

Great Blue Heron by Nancy Medina

This Great Blue Heron lives on ocean-front property off the coast of New Hampshire. I painted him from a photo taken last week by my talented friend Sharon, a photographer who captures images like this one simply by traveling a mile or two from her front door.

Great Blues have a wonderful call and can be seen across the US. While researching Mister Blue, I found a great Web site where you can hear the voice of the Great Blue Heron. Take a look and scroll down a bit for the play button. Wonderful, yes?
