"Male Eastern Bluebird" oil painting

5x7

oil on gessoed board

There are times when I post everything as soon as I paint it and there are times when life happens and some of my art is not posted.  I have had photos that were taken by my friend Karen Dattilio of bluebirds outside her window and so far painted 2 paintings from them and this is the 3rd. I need to find her secret to get these beautiful birds to my feeders.

 I sold this oil painting at the Hanover Area Arts Guild. I love painting birds so I guess I will have to paint more.

This is my actually first painting of the new year. After painting commissions over the holidays I felt I had to paint a subject I chose and also needed something blue for the Hanover Art Guild "In the Blue" show. I used an old photo I took years ago of a bluebird that flew into my tree from the neighbors. I don't have bluebirds coming to my feeder but I wish I did.
