Today's Study is a Female Wood Duck

I really like this little study.  It has a bit of detail around her face but the rest of the duck is just suggested - I way I like to paint, plus I like the right-up-the-middle composition.

An Egret for Today

Today's 5" x 7" oil study for my 75 for $75 project is an egret.  It was inspired by the Blackwater Refuge in Cambridge, Maryland - where I saw a dozen or more egrets feeding in a small marshy area of rust colored grasses and reeds.  The image has stuck in my brain so I had to paint it.

Today's Oil Study - A Western Bluebird

I'm trying hard to get back into the 75/75 mode but I've got an upcoming show in Charleston in a couple of weeks, so it's hard to find the time to work on my studies.

Today's little oil is a Western Bluebird.  I like the way his little feet repeat the shapes of the barbed wire.

The Ears Have It

I painted this little guy for my 75 for $75 project.  I posted it here but decided to keep it for an upcoming show in Charleston, rather than sell it for $75.  I've had so many requests to purchase it, I've decided to try something new.  I'm selling The Ears Have It on a silent auction.  Most art collectors are familiar with this type of auction but if you're not, I'll explain it.

If you would like to bid on the this little oil, then click on 'COMMENTS'  then enter your bid into the comments section.   Bids starts at $100.  If you are the only bidder, then when the silent auction ends, the bunny is yours.  If others have placed a bid, you can scroll through the comments to see the latest bid.  Please bid in $15 increments.   If you have trouble placing a bid in the comment section, email me and I'll post your bid for you.  www.AdeleEarnshaw@gmail.com  

The silent auction will end on Friday, January 27th at 5:00 PM Mountain Standard Time. If you have the highest bid, the painting is yours!  I'll notify you by email - and I'll also post it here.   Good luck!  I hope this little rabbit finds a nice home.

"Counterpane"

I just finished this 24" x 48" oil on gallery-wrapped canvas.  This gives a more contemporary look and doesn't require that the piece be framed - though it can be if the client wants framing.  I painted it for my exhibit at The Southeast Wildlife Expo where I'll be showing my work February 16 - 19, 2012 in Charleston, South Carolina.  I've been painting small, soft, moody landscape with a goal of painting the same mood but much larger.  This is my first attempt - and I like it!

A Cute Pooch

This 8" x 8" oil on Ampersand gessoed board, is a gallery commission.  It was a little blah so I replaced the neutral background color with the orange/yellow and a warm red separated by a blue band.  Then it popped!

233 - Flying Egret

I had this little oil study done by 7:30 this morning.  I was inspired to paint it after working on yesterday's large oil.  This little guy is an egret - perhaps an immature snowy?
