#13 30 in 30 2 Little Gems

I've had little bits of painting opportunity in the last two days so I am posting these two little ones that I did on Mon. The first one I did in the small horizontal format to see whether I liked it better than the square format and the second one I did just because I enjoy the scene and wanted to play with the thick clouds.

I had a great painting day today, I got some little ones done and then this one caught my fancy for today's painting and I really enjoyed it. My favourite bits are the dog on one side and the little girl on the other, both so full of expression. 

# 9 Whitemud Creek and # 10 Chickadee

#9 Whitemud Creek   8x8 Oil on Paper   NFS

One of my favourite bits of the walk.

#10 Chickadee at Terwillegar Park   6x6 Oil on Gessoboard   $125.00 unframed

This little fellow was perched up at the top of a big tree down in the park on a very cold day. Brave little soul!

Again, for the month of the challenge I have priced the paintings as part of the fun of the challenge. When the month is finished they will revert to my normal pricing.

I'm taking a turn this week with snow. I've had a yen to paint this scene in our dog walking park for years so I decided I would give it a try today. What a lovely day, first a friend showed up with a latte and a big smile, then one of my boys and his dog popped in. Then to top it off, the hysterically funny radio podcast of Vinyl Street Cafe's "Babysitters" show was playing. If you see any errant squiggles you'll understand it's very difficult to paint while laughing yourself silly!

I realize after I painted this scene that it was just the same sort of day as today, sunny but very cold!
