"Red Berries (Song Sparrow)"

Presenting
"Red Berries (Song Sparrow)"



Oil, 12 x 8

Finished this one up yesterday! Presenting "Red Berries (Song Sparrow)," Oil on board measuring 12 x 8. This painting seemed to drag on a little longer than it should have but I am happy with the results. The idea and reference for this painting came from a hike behind my brothers house in northern Virginia several years back. I was in a dense part of the woods, everything seemed very gray and subdued except for this cluster of bright rich red berries.

    I love this, the subdued, muted greens of the background contrast beautifully with the reds and your placement of the bird feels just right.

    Really nice piece!

Dam Painting update

Work in progress... A quick update on the "Dam Painting."  I have finished drawing in the under drawing and believe that it is now ready to have some color added to it! Although I more than likely will not do that for a couple of more weeks, after school starts back in so that I can have larger blocks of time to paint. Until then you can see the finished under drawing below and I will get to work on the next under drawing for another painting, this one is of a beautiful roof line from Charleston , South Carolina.
