Avian Series All Together

I promised my best friend that I would soon show what the Avian painting look like as a grouping, so here they are...quite lovely I think. I have something special I am doing with them which I'll hopefully be announcing next week...Until than, have a wonderful relaxing weekend and thanks for sharing some of your time with me this week.

New Painting "Avian #5"

As promised here is the last painting of the Avian series, Avian #5. This was my very first ever series and I am quite happy with how they turned out. Creating the same character over and over, in the same colour etc was challenging but a good experience.

I am ready to move onto a new series now but I will come back in a day or two with some shots of all the Avian paintings together. The latest one is still drying in the sunshine upstairs and I don't want to mess up it's final coating in my haste to take the photos! which would be my normal protocol!

The last two days I've been working in my upstairs studio which I share with Jin and Hazel...who in the last 2 blissfully sunny days have kept me great company and quite amused by how they happily spend the whole day sunning themselves on their window bench...getting up just long enough to stretch; yawn; eat the banana I've just served and then they smartly turn around to sun the other sides of their beautiful glossy coats, ha ha.

Until the next post, be well, be inspired and be creative. XO Mandy.

New Painting 'Avian 4" & Birthday Wishes

As promised last week, I have a new painting to show you. The 4th little painting on wood in my Avian series.

I am very pleased with it and they are all looking so lovely together. The golds and silvers in the paintings come through abit more in the scans than in these photographs. I will put the originals up for sale shortly after the whole series is complete. Whether it will be on my new website, at my Etsy shop or somewhere else, I've still yet to determine.

Today is a speacil day...it's my dad's birthday....HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD, my big and strong dad is 58 years young. We'll be seeing you later on this evening dad...

Thanks for stopping in and until tomorrow, by joyful, be inspired and be creative.

New Painting "Avian 3"

As promised, here is the third Avian painting. I spent the day at my mom's yesterday and between our chatting and snuggling the puppy, I got this one finished off and another one well started. I am really into these little guys now and it is finally dawning on me how nice and practical doing work in a series is. I have lots of new ideals for more series with fresh new plans for those ideals and I am hoping that I am finally onto something! I have 2 more to finish up by end of this week than I will take a break from them to move onto another series I have all drawn out and ready to go. But I will be back to this 'Avian' series as I hope to at least create a collection of 12 or 15. This is my favourite one so far, what do you all think? Be Well and Happy Creating.
