The looser painting technique I have been trying to learn is a challenge but I am enjoying it. The flowers are harder for me so I thought to give birds and animals a whirl.

I painted these from a photograph.
Once I photograph the painting of them I can spot where I need to touch them up.
One, the head on the left bird needs to be a bit rounder, the tail feathers need to have a bit of white outline on them and when I flicked the snow on it put a big white spot where the his eye was and made him look like he has a cataract.

One of the challenges of this method is knowing when to stop and let it be. So I am giving this a few days before fixing what I think is wrong.
I painted another cabinet door into a chalkboard but it became too dark to photograph it.
I have gotten the website up and running but I still have some cosmetic changes to make and a lot more signs and paintings to load up on it.
Go ahead and check it out and let me know any suggestions you may have. I still am debating on having a blog attached or not and whether to add a sidebar.

That is all for tonight.

I absolutely love these! I wish that I could draw, paint, etc... Fortunately I have a daughter that has these skills (where she inherited this gift, I don't know!) Great job :)
