Here are artist proof prints derived from Feathered Refuge, my chibi lovebirds perched in the wig of a big eye Rococo maiden painting. The middle one is 11"x17" and the surrounding ones are 8"x10" however, I could also make 5"x7" images. If you're not in a huge rush, open edition prints can be ordered upon request. Please contact me if interested.
This is a WIP work in progress image of two of my birds from my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. They have been roughly blocked in. Next I will refine them a bit; however Alex likes the unrefined feel of the birds and cautions me to keep them loose, so they won't be getting extremely tight.
Some may remember the little bird at the top as one I have painted before in small format. It's now a much brighter colored bird! Initially all of the birds were going to be blue, but my painting became brighter in hue and I was loosely inspired by my friend's green bird and those two things changed everything...
The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame that measures approximately 12"x20" and will be approximately 14"x22" when framed.
Happy snuggles! This is a WIP work in progress image of part of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame that measures approximately 12"x20" and will be approximately 14"x22" when framed. I've loosely blocked in the bird couple; I have not yet decided if I will refine this couple a bit first or move on to blocking in another bird next and come back for refinements after I've blocked in all of the birds...
This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame. The panel measures approximately 12"x20" and will be approximately 14"x22" when framed. I've blocked in her glorious pink hair and am looking forward to starting work on the little birds...
This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame. I'll try to remember to measure it before the next time I post her. I've been working on blocking in her face, features, and hair. The hair is partly underpainted and partly blocked in, the silhouettes of where the little birds will be is visible...
This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame. I've started on underpainting her face and neck. Sometimes I am enamored of this soft focus stage, but I enjoy taking things to another level, so the painting continues...
This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame. I've only worked on the background at this point, a soft yellow that lets the panel shine through a bit. It's difficult to make out the details at this point, maybe next time I paint on one of these wood panels that Alex's father cut to fit vintage frames for me, I will gesso the panel first instead of just using GAC-100 to seal in the sketch, but I'll see how it goes with this painting...
I have finally completed Lovers Bough, the original little bird has been adopted (thank you), but I have had some interest expressed in prints. If you'd like to be put on the list to be informed when I'm able to release prints, please contact me. I'm debating now on the subject of my next small painting and also planning on moving forward on the larger piece Lovers Bough was a prequel for...
It has been a while since I've posted a wip of any of my personal works. It's been a while since I've worked on them... Facebook shamed me by posting a memory post of this, I hadn't realized how long I'd left it by the wayside. Here is a WIP work in progress image of this original chibi lovebird bird on a sakura cherry blossom branch painting. It is 5"7" on canvas and is being painted in duo oils. Here I've painted the base of the flowers, I still need to paint their cores and put some final details on the little bird.
Behind, but not forgotten! Here is a WIP work in progress image of this original chibi lovebird bird on a sakura cherry blossom branch painting. It is 5"7" on canvas and is being painted in duo oils. It's been a while since I've made any progress on this painting, but it is not forgotten. I need to work on the flowers and some details on the bird still, but it is coming along...
Here is a WIP work in progress image of this original chibi lovebird bird on a sakura cherry blossom branch painting. It is 5"7" on canvas and is being painted in duo oils. This is the winning bird. I'd planned to do a more straightforward study of just the bird; but when I took some advice and made the form smaller and paid attention to some details, I decided that while still keeping it a study, to incorporate some sakura cherry blossoms and make it more of a stand alone painting.
Wishing you a happy Lunar New Year! Every year for Chinese New Year, I try to present artwork of the year's Zodiac animal, this time,...
