Bird on a Wire

6x6 oil on canvas

I have a wren (probably more than one actually) that serenades me all the time. He sits on the wire just outside the porch. I love how big he sings for such a tiny little bird. We should all sing big songs!

I've been feeling a little like Austin Powers lately - looking for my lost (painting) mojo! Anybody out there seen it?? I'm trying, folks! It certainly has been elusive. It's not from a lack of wanting to, seems to be in the forgetting how! It seems to take me about 3x as long as I think it should. But I am working on a larger piece and that always takes longer. Ah yes, learning to go with the flow here - a lesson in patience.

on hold

Thanks for visiting!

Great little painting. You make it all
look so easy with bold brush strokes
and subtle blend of colors.

Mojo? I'll help you as soon as I find mine.
Take care pal ... hope that's a smile I see.; July 15, 2010 at 5:17 PM
