My year-long journey of learning to oil paint. The quest: 300 paintings in 2019. It will require near-daily attention. Progress, lack of progress, fun, not fun, rewarding, not rewarding....stumbling blocks, moments to toss it all, but also moments of great joy! But the learning part....the intention is to record it here.

#89, #90, #91 4/26/19 Three Birds
Day off today, wooooohoooo! I slept in, then got busy with some painting, as I had plans for the afternoon. I decided to paint a bird. I've been seeing cute baby bird painting on pinterest, and decided the subject was simple enough that maybe I could tackle it. I searched for "free bird photos" and found a bunch, plus some Lynyrd Skynrd images. The first bird finished up very quick....so I decided since I had two more identical sized/shaped/colored canvases, I would do a trio. These are 4 inch wrapped canvas, with a mauve background color. The second bird I fussed over a bit more, and the third bird had to wait till I got home from my afternoon plans, and I fussed over him too. But the three of them are cute, and I tried to make the brush strokes obvious. It occurred to me that when I first started painting a few months ago, the brush marks were intolerable. But now I kind of like them.
