Hi all!
This has been one crazy summer for me and I haven't had a chance to do much new art :( I had this LARGE canvas just sitting behind my easel for a few years and I decided to use black gesso on it (which I LOVE). I've been staring at the black canvas for a few weeks and decided to sketch something on it. This is what came out of my head in 5 minutes! I like it! Still lots more details to work on but I'm taking pictures of each stage to view the progress. I'm trying to take more risks with my art and not plan things out but just go with what comes out. It's a hard one for me sometimes which is so funny because I'm a very spontaneous person. What do you do that helps you get past your artistic blocks and planned out canvases? I could use some help in that area! I will continue to post progress photos. I still need a title but figure that will come once it's finished. So what do you think? I'd love to hear!

Stand Out In Your Field
Hi all!
Just wanted to show you my newest piece, just finished today!!! I just love it!!! It makes me happy and we could all use a little happy in the world today! I am calling this LARGE piece "Stand Out In Your Field" - a double entendre. It's 24" x 36" on thick gallery wrapped canvas. The bird was a lot of fun to do because I used Claudine Hellmuth's sticky back canvas and also some of her new paints. VERY FUN!! I highly recommend it. It was great doing the bird that way because it made for easy placement, I didn't mess up the canvas by putting the bird in the wrong spot and I could try it out ahead of time to see where I wanted to put it.
I also used some oil paint markers which was awesome for detail!!! New for me and I won't be painting in black all the time now that I found these markers. So this guy is pretty much finished, just need to beeswax it and paint the sides. Hope you like it!! I really do and I'm so proud of it!!! I will be listing this soon on Etsy. I need to restock my shop with originals and this is the first!! Enjoy!
