$100 - 6x6" original oil painting on 1/8" panel

Robins are such wonderful birds to paint because the bright red and orange colours contrast beautifully with the many warm and cool greys. I painted this cutie-patootie on the first snowfall here in Toronto. It was a big decision to add the snowflakes but, I thought what the heck, and I went for it! ; )

and now it's time to put them away...

$60 - 5x7" gouache original painting with 8x10" mat.

It's time to put away the ornaments... but New Year's is right around the corner!

December already!

$60 - 5x7"gouache sketch with thin border, includes 8x10"mat.

I tell ya', this gouache stuff is so vibrant, silky... and tricky. It's not watercolour and it's not quite oil. I'm having lots of fun figuring it out though! Meanwhile, how is it already December?! #onlythreeweeks #goodprice ; )
