Well, I have been on a "chickadee spree" lately, haven't I?

Some might say I am obsessed?

I have been loving painting these little guys.  I would really like to get absolutely sure with my brushstrokes, but I just seem to mess it up when I try the "one stroke" approach.

I'll keep trying.

I am having 5 x 7 prints made of all my paintings in the Chickadee series.

They are available in my Etsy shop, just click on the link below.

The pink blossoms made me think of spring.  I know it's a long way off, but I am REALLY looking forward to it.

One Chickadee

Acrylic on Canvas Panel

This is one independent little bird.

She is looking forward to spring as she perches on the willow.

I am looking forward to spring, too.

 

These little canvas panels are easy to mat and frame, because of their 5 x 7 size.   You could pick up an inexpensive one at Walmart, or you could go all out and have it custom framed.

The choice is yours

These two little chickadees are all snuggled up and in love.

Wouldn't this would be a cute Valentine?

We were at the cabin at Murphy Lake on the weekend and I took over 250 pictures of birds, deer and grandchildren:))

These little guys are sooo much fun to piant.

We are off to the lake tomorrow, so I will take my trusty camera with me and try to get some

more pictures. 

Don't you just love how this little guy is looking at you??....as if to say, "Whatcha doin'?"

I have the next one drawn out already,

and watch for a card set, coming soon.

Chickadee in Winter

I love the chickadees at the lake.  They are quick when they come to the bird feeders, so many of my photos turn out blurry. I love their friendly faces, their cheery songs and their social skills.

Last summer I even got a couple of them to eat out of my hand.

It took lots of patience to stand with my hand outstretched, waiting for one of them to land, but eventually, one did.

It felt so light, like a little tickle.

I was honoured.

 

I like this quote....it describes time when I'm painting.

 

Time sometimes flies like a bird, sometimes crawls like a snail; but a man is happiest when he does not even notice whether it passes swiftly or slowly.

Three Portraits

I painted Dalyn as a  Little Fairy. (Wings and antenna)  The photo I worked from was so cute, and I think she had a cold because her cheeks and nose were red.

 

Then, I was asked to paint her brothers.

Dorien,

 

 

And Hayden.
