Latest Collage One of my Fav Subjects

If I am going to paint a bird, chances are it will be a Chickadee or Misanges as they are called in French.  This one is my latest collage on wood.  Snippets of maps, wrapping paper and hand painted papers were used.

On my Easel This Morning

I always seem to have to paint flowers just before their bloom time. My hydrangea bushes have only started to hint at the flowers they'll produce this summer but these paintings have to be finished now. This one is nearing completion but is only one half of the diptych that I've planned. So far - so good on this half......
and here it is completed....the painting in reality does flow from left to right and matches up unlike in my photo where a slight
slant due to the canvas leaning a little differently makes it look otherwise. And just added a close up of the right panel with the chickadee....
