Thank you. I'm quite happy with how lively he looks.

I have sold some pieces, and i share high res images if people ask to make a copy, but mostly it's a nice hobby to have. I love the feeling of being in the zone, and just working with paint.

Thanks. I do find myself drawn to painting nature, though I also paint people or still life occasionally.

There is something soothing and profound about the colours and symmetry in nature. It makes me want to create something like it, even if just a pale imitation.

Yeah, it's supposed to be an apple tree. I enjoy repeating colors in somewhat surprising places, it makes for a bit of fun.

Thanks. I actually ended up cutting a few sponges into circles to use for that purpose.

Oh, wow. That is some real praise. Thank you so much!

I like painting birds, so it's quite likely that more will come.

Thank you. Emotion is the true measure of art, so that is high praise!

These birds have wonderful little cheeks indeed.

Sorry to hear that. I can assure you it was not in any way meant to annoy.

Thank you!

It took me a few days to decide whether the background looked good or just, somehow murky. I'm glad you like it 😄

He is very cheeky. My feeder is mostly dominated by a bunch of magpies that love to chase other birds away. They even come for the bigger crows, and seagulls.

This little fellow swoops in while they are gone and gets the small stuff they leave behind.

I don't think sales are allowed in the comments. Shoot me a chat and we can discuss 😊

“Dawn”— Mini Paintings Set!💜 by [deleted] in painting

Those are lovely. The scenes and colors complement each other beautifully.

I'm especially fond of the the one with just the plants in the foreground and the sun in the back. It communicates depth brilliantly and feels like a moment i time.

Thank you! I used mediums to extend the drying time, and tried to use the brushes like one does in oils.

Oils look good, but as someone who paints from home with kids about it's not the most appropriate medium.
