My favorite time to paint is early in the morning. When it is quiet and I have had my coffee.My studio is outside so I have a few steps from my house to get to it. I think there is something very intimate in the smaller works having always painted quite large. Painting usually everyday and always in the morning I have chosen the title Morning Paintings.

MAGPIE
5"x7" Black Billed Magpie A woodland ground forager, he will eat just about anything! He has a 22"to 24" wingspan, emagine that!
Hi Susan It's my turn to commend you. Magpies have got a wonderful magic sheen that is hard to describe ...you have captured it really well. On my screen it looks as if the background is shimmering gold, like in an icon, but I guess it is a gorgeous grey of some flavour. I don't know if you can get gold in oils - I have often used it in acrylic to give a special effect.
Hi Gary, thankyou so much. He was a delight to paint. The background is a silver grey with lavender and it photographed a gold. Yes, you can buy gold and silver in oils! Thanks again Gary, Im so enjoying your paintings!
