Chickadees and Bluebird

Made the circles into ornaments the same as for the cardinal card.

I used blue and floated it on the edges of the circle.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

These birds were fun to paint, I'm sure I'll paint more.

Maybe paint some on wood and make tree ornaments. Oh, the possibilities!

cardinal ornament card

I made a change to this card by making the circle an ornament. And then attached a ribbon to hang it. What do you think about the changes made?
Also floating sky blue around the circle edges.

Cardinal/Holly

The cardinal is painted on a circle. I ruffed up the edges , then adhered to the white card.
Glazed the card with sky blue, and flicked on fawn with a old toothbrush.
Tied tulle and ribbon to the side of card.


The holly is outlined with a black pen. Paper torn edge and put red on the card edge.

I'm still working on those last two placemats, just wanted to shift gears and do some Christmas cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

painted placemat

I painted this looking out on the west side of our home in the woods. Deer frequently walk by the house, so I painted one sitting by the evergreen.
thanks for stopping by.
I have two more placemat paintings started, so stop back to check them out.

placemat painting

I tried my skills at a bigger canvas. Painted this fall scene from looking out my studio door at our frontyard. Sorry it's so dark, I need more light for taking pics.
Painted on the backside of a placmat I had, so I need to paint a protectant on the surface.
