Well it's time I put other projects on hold to update my websites and my art blog. Marketing needs to be higher on my priority list! Yes, it's been a while since I made time to upload photos of new artwork. Like many other artists, I would rather create than ‘market’ … but if people don’t know about it, they aren’t going to buy it. Right?
This is one my most recent creations. I call him ‘Mr. Chartreuse’.
Last year, my hubby and I worked off and on for a year updating our dated 80’s den to a more modern color scheme and décor with various shades of chartreuse and black leather/wood. (That’s another blog posting for another time.) So this summer we’ve transitioned the chartreuse or lime green color out to the deck. To brighten the brick wall, I decided to paint an extra large bird to go alone with my other tropical bird motifs. ‘Mr. Chartreuse’, was created with acrylic paints on canvas, but sealed with several coats of Liquitex oil sealant.
This protects my work from dust or from fading. I gave up working with oils years ago and a oil sealant to acrylics gives it that ‘oil finish’ without all the negative aspects of working in oils; such as the expense, long drying time, mess, odor, etc.
My 'Birds of a Feather Collection' can be purchased here in various sizes of high quality prints or on super sized canvas at:

This past week, I was excited to learn that one of my 'humming bird' paintings was featured on the home page of CAFÉ Press.
For that reason, I'm adding my tropical bird collection as well as a few of my hummers from recent years. Enjoy, gg
