Male Cardinal Oil Study

I've been struggling with my work getting too fiddly. When this happens, I find that painting quick little oil studies helps me to loosen up and also gives me the opportunity to experiment. I started my "75 for 75" project almost ten years ago for this reason. It made a huge difference in my work and it's time to do it again. I won't be painting a daily piece but will as I feel the need. As before, they'll be 'studies' - no detail nor specific background. My goal is for the work to be loose and painterly.

Ten years ago, the studies sold for $75 each. Today the price is US $100 plus $8 shipping. It'll take about a week for the study to dry so it can be mailed and will probably be another ten days to reach you. It has much further to travel now!

Summer Waltz

This oil is reminiscent of some of my watercolors from long ago, painted specifically for Mountain Trails Gallery in Sedona, Arizona. After all, it is hummingbird season in Sedona!  Hummingbirds are found only in the 'New World'. I must admit - I do miss them in New Zealand. Part of the reason for my annual trip back to the U.S. is for a hummingbird fix. The bird is this painting is a male Broad-tailed Hummingbird.

Work in Progress

This is a 15" x 15" oil on panel. At this point, I've just scrubbed in the value and color with some parts a bit more finished. I may leave some of the scrubbed in areas or I might work on these areas a bit more. Ditto with the river - not sure if I'll leave it this value or perhaps darken it a bit and pick up the yellow of the sunset. This is work-in-progress. I'll lean it up against the wall for a few days and take a quick look at it when I walk past. After a while, I'll know if there are awkward shapes or values that bother me.

North Island Brown Kiwi

This is a newly finished oil of a North Island Brown Kiwi. Though kiwi are endangered, I live in a part of New Zealand where they can still be heard calling at night.

Open-edition, signed print

12" x 8" image on 15" x 10.5" heavy, archival paper

Though born and raised in New Zealand, I lived in the United States for the major part of my life. I returned to live in New Zealand in 2012. One of my goals in returning to my homeland, was to raise money for kiwi conservation. Growing up at the edge of a large tract of native forest, I always hoped to see a kiwi. My father would tell me, "they're all gone".  They were, at least in our part of the country. However, through conservation efforts such as predator control, the kiwi are making a comeback.  Now I am fortunate to live in the Bay of Islands, very close to the Opua Forest where I can hear kiwi calling at night. Bay Bush Action, our local conservation group is a registered charity dedicated to protecting our native wildlife in the Opua Forest. With continued trapping, Bay Bush Action hopes to lower the predator numbers to the point where forty kiwi can be released into the forest next year to join the ten native couples already there. 

Kiwi Ora has been released as a signed, open-edition full colour print on heavy, museum quality paper. It sells for $75 in both the US and New Zealand, not including shipping. If you would like to help our kiwi by purchasing a print, clicking on this link will take you to Bay Bush Action's website where you'll find more information on the print and make a purchase using Paypal. 

I have donated 100% of my time and painting to help save the kiwi. I do not many any profit - in fact I'm the one that will be packing and shipping the print you purchase. If you have any questions on the print, please email me:  adele.earnshaw (leave out this bit) @gmail.com.  (Written this way to hopefully foil the spammers). The original is not available for sale.
