What can I say, this might be turning into a little chickadee painting addiction.  They are just a symbol of everything sweet and so innocent.

Another painting where I used a limited palette Naphthol red,Cad yellow and Ultramarine blue. I tend to focus more on the painting than on the palette as the colours  all get along...no mud.

Another sweet robin to paint. I used a limited palette and tried not to get to caught up in the details, sometimes just suggesting something in a painting is all you need.

Another day of relishing my painting journey. I went to an art opening last week and one of my favourite artists Grant Leier was showing his amazing work.  He inspired me to just enjoy colour and flowers and anything goes!!

I find the simpler you start with these little bird paintings the better they are.  Sometimes I get carried away and want to add every little detail, but all you need to do is suggest details on the painting...less is more.

This little bird was fun to paint, I loved the branch with the two blossoms, it added so much more interest.
