Woodpecker painting

 Have recently been working on several paintings. 

Here is one of them, a woodpecker sitting in the wisteria.
Oil on linen 40x50 cm

Painting woodpecker and sparrows

 

Have been painting last week.  (oil on linen canvas 45x38cm.)

I love doing oil painting and I love birds...so its not difficult to find a subject for my paintings.

Not sure yet if it is finished, but I don't know what to do more and let it sit for a while. 

Its very difficult to make a photo of the painting without a shiny glare, 
I still don't know how to do that. 

Last day of the year 2024

Have been painting a lot last month. 

This one is for me very helpful, to wash off and shake off everything that is bothering and hindering.
I love beginning the new year with a fresh mind and vision.

blackbird oil painting

 I love painting birds having a bath.

I took this image some years ago, and decided to paint it. They are so enjoying their bathing and this blackbird really is enjoying it. Its reminds me to let go of a lot of heavy stuff, we sometimes can carry around on our shoulders. Birds don't do that. They shake things off immediately. That's why I love them so much!

Oil painting birds nest

 A while ago, I got an abandoned bird nest of a robin.

The robins had made a nest in my sisters garage,

There were 3 beautiful eggs in the nest, but the birds did not come back. Something terrible might have happened to the birds...and I felt very sad about it.

When definitely sure, that the birds did not come back, I got the nest and planned to paint it...It was made so perfect and beautiful, so stunning beautiful.

Tried to paint it recently.

Peaceful and delightful Christmas

Have been busy painting birds last year, birds that visited my garden.

I maybe did not yet finished the painting, I Think I will add some seeds in the turtle-doves beaks, but good enough for now.

Wishing you a very peaceful and delightful Christmas!

Oil-paintings

 Have been working on new oil-paintings during the last year.

These two blackbirds I just finished.

As I love birds as you all know, over the years I made lost of photos of them in all sorts of ways and expressions. I wondered if I could paint them in oil. So I did and discovered so much fun doing this. I forget the time and all the weird stuff flying around in the world. This is great! 

I had in mind one central theme from the Bible along with that:

Look at the birds in the air. They do not sow, or reap or gather into barns_and yet our heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? (Math.6:26)  

This has been great help when all things are going wrong in the world around.

So I spend lots of time to work on my new birds coming out of my brushes.
