These are lovely paintings Kelly! Looking back at the beautiful photos you took of them, I think you have captured their essence perfectly!
I also thought the Heptica photos on the previous post were stunning!! Catching up with other posts which I unfortunately missed I was particularly taken with your beautiful painting of the Golden-crowned Kinglet and the gorgeous photos of the Prairie Warbler! Another highlight for me was the Garter Snake.
Have a lovely weekend Kelly!
Its that bloke with the one ear again.{:)
nice Kelly. I would think oil pastels would be a tough medium to handle but know several artists who do very well with it. great job.
Thanks for the comment on my art blog. Laramie Peak was the first mountain the Oregon Trail folks saw of the Rockies and is quit impressive from miles away. A great subject to paint.
The paintings are just beautiful. I LOVE the vibrant colors!
Have a great day.
Really pretty paintings, Kelly. Nice job!
I remember the pictures. I admire so much how you can capture their beauty through art....We are finally having a really lovely day here, and you have reminded me to go back out in our woods to check on our Trillium that were in buds just a few days ago.
Have a great day!
WOW! you have have captured our ephemerals in oil !!!
I love trilliums too and your captured them well in your paintings. Ours are past bloom but tomorrow I ill be going to higher elevation (Mt. Rogers area) to see more trillium.
Lovely paintings Kelly. I spent the day yesterday looking for the arrival of Indigo Buntings, sighting one pair.One year in this area i got to see the arrival of a flock which was real neat.
I like the T.Grand one the best..you captured the exoticness of it!Is that a word? Exoticness? yeah ! I think it is! Great painting!!!!!!!
beautiful Kelly. I look forward to them blooming around here.
Beautiful, Kelly! I love trilliums, but sadly they don't grow here. It's so nice to see them show up here and there around blogland.
...thanks, everyone for the kind comments and support. Oil pastels are a strange medium. They allow blending, but for me do not equate with detail. Energy and pure color always seem to be the result...with little detail. I think I'm going to try these with watercolor also...it will be interesting to see how different the paintings are!
These take my breath away! Brava. Your photos of the squirrel and birds ... my girls and I were amazed. Just loved your photos.
