Everglades painting- Anhinga

Anhinga
5x7

The painting I did today was from my trip to the Everglades. I didn't really know what I would find in the Everglades, I just expected swamps. We saw lots of wildlife- including manatees, crocodiles, alligators, and birds I have never seen or even heard of before!

One of those birds was the Anhinga. It's found in the southern swamps, and is also known as the water-turkey.

latest painting- Waimea Canyon III

2010-02-09T12:45:00.004-05:00

Here is my latest little painting. This is Waiemea Canyon in Kauai, Hawaii. I was lucky enough to get to visit Hawaii this January. This is a 5x7 on canvas panel.

I have to take a little break from posting them to ebay because I will be traveling. But when I get back, I'll start auctioning them off again! So far, selling on ebay has been going pretty well. I have sold 3 of these little paintings so far, and another one has a bid. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!

Swiss Mountains
6x6
Oil on Canvas

I went to Switzerland last summer (June of 2009) and fell in love with the mountains there! I took tons of pictures so I could come home and paint them.

This painting is 6"x6" on stretched canvas. I used a combination of paintbrush and palette knife.

"Waimea Canyon II"

sold

Waimea Canyon is in Kauai, Hawaii. I was there in January 2010, and spent some time painting en plein aire at the canyon. Even though it is only a fraction of the size of the Grand Canyon, it is still spectacular, and impossible to fully capture in a picture.

Twin pumpkins, study oil on canvas, 5x7

I found these pumpkins at a place called Honeysuckle Farm in Springfield, TN. I knew when I saw them I had to paint them!

Peachy

Peach, study oil on canvas, 5x7

This peach came from a peach tree in our backyard. I just thought it was perfect, with just the right coloring, including the reddish bursts from the tip. And oh, the smell of a perfectly ripe peach! It was heavenly. After I finished the painting I had to take a bite. Deliciously sweet and juicy!
