Cottage Birdfeeder finished

I have now finished this painting and my sister Mariam is in hospital recovering from serious cervical surgery so I am going to send her this in hopes of cheering her up and hoping she thinks of better days at the cottage.

I am sure she would have perferred a poitrait of her Collie but I did not have a current photo of him.

Comming up in my next blog will be photos from my weekend workshop at Hoopers Studio in Hampton where I took a mosiacs course Sat.&Sun (Oct.31 and Nov.1)

Cottage Birdfeeder

This was Step one of a painting I started a couple of months ago. It was from a photo I took of a chickadee at my sisters and her husbands cottage in Ontario. They live in Winnipeg.

I masked out the bird and feeder with packing tape and used a spatter Tech. for the foilage.
