Art Site Up and Running

Yeah! After many hours and going cross-eyed my new art website is up and running.
To view click here.

Some folks might ask, Why did you feel the need to change it?
Well, its been a year and a half and it needed a face lift. I also will be able to update more frequently than before, that means more paintings! Faster! Weeeeee!

Hope you enjoy.

Red Breasted Nuthatch Beauty

Yesterday a red breasted nut hatch landed on my suet feeder. I can't prove it because I didn't have my camera, so I painted his watercolor picture! At the time he landed, a male downy woodpecker was having breakfast, so the little nuthatch hopped around excitedly, but was too impatient to wait it's turn so he flew away. Little Stinker. That's OK, I'm sure he'll be back when I still don't have my camera.

Let's Learn About the Red Breasted Nuthatch:

In Chicago, only around in winter as opposed to white breasted nuthatch (year round).
Tiny bird 4.5 inches.
Black cap on head and black bandit eyes.
Chestnut-Russet colored tummy.
Hops down a tree head first, not up a tree.
Wedges seeds in crevices to hatch with bill.
Eats seeds, insects, & suet.

Thank you little red breasted nuthatch for your visit, please come again soon and stay much longer!

Attention Artists - Breathtaking Hibiscus

Here is a close up of another wild hibiscus. Notice the delicate veins and the folding of the petal ends. That's what I'm talking about! Artists go nuts for details like this. If any artists out there wants to use this hibiscus photo for a painting, go right ahead. Isn't our Creator awesome??? We do nothing to deserve such beauty, but it's given greatly.
