SWEET LITTLE HOUSE

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

This is the perfect little house, it is always a challenge for me painting light and shadow but I really enjoy doing it.  When I am looking for houses to paint I am always amazed at how back in the day all of our oversized families fit very comfortably into these tiny little gems.

I used a more subtle palette than usual so I decided to use a red underpainting.  I like the end result soft with a little bit of a bite.

I took this photo in Chemainus just around there corner from my friends Moms house.  It was one of those days that reminded us why we live on Vancouver Island. I had so much fun doing the clouds.

Originally this canvas was a painting of red tulips which I painted a couple of years ago, never completely happy with it I decided to paint over it.  I love how the reds of the first painting peek through the daffodils. It is so rewarding to make something good out of something that for so long I was just not happy with.

While I was paining this little bird my friend came into my studio and said "that is the first skinny bird you have painted" and yes it was.  Usually I go for the chubby fluffy model but I loved this birds stance and colouring.

This bird was painted with a very limited paint palette, it simplifies your choices and sometimes that is just want you want.  The pink feathers of these robins always remind me of a little tutu.

A very pleasant day to paint another bird, the background kind of reminds me of confetti...maybe it's the colours.
