Blue Jay, Original Oil 6x6 on canvas

SOLD

This painting was created using an image from my own photography. The details in this painting aren't showing up very well. Not sure why. Here's a bit more detail in this small image which I hope gives you an idea of what this painting really looks like.

I enjoy looking at Blue Jays and seeing them hopping around looking for food. They have the most amazing blue feathers. They're quite the pushy birds sometimes. If they weren't so pretty we'd probably consider them a pest like the less attractive Grackle. Life is unfair sometimes. Cute animals can do no wrong.

This is painted on gallery wrapped canvas, with black painted sides. Enjoy.

 I am a bit shy about posting my artwork online. My goal is to get over that fear and come out of my comfort zone. I will be posting paintings over time and they will be for sale with sizes and prices. They may be for sale on e-bay or directly from me at a fixed price. I haven't really decided yet. This is an experiment.


I've been painting for years. With growing children and job demands, time is precious. My children are growing up and it's time for me to come out of my shell a bit. For me painting is not relaxing. It is a challenge. I go at it with the intention to make the best painting I can and to learn in the process. It is a painstaking process of observation and evaluation of the result. My aim is to become a better artist. It's hard work. 


I hope you enjoy what you see here and come back to keep up-to-date with what I'm doing.
