Cedar Waxwing by Latane

I evidently took a break from painting. Christmas just took up my mind and time and then along came January!! But, I sat down yesterday and whipped out this watercolor of a cedar waxwing. Maybe I can get back on schedule now.

Mocking Bird by Latane

I haven't been painting as much lately. I had this one that I did some time ago from a photograph I made in Petersburg, Va.  Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a happy New Year.

Horse Barn in The Canyon by Marie

Here is my latest oil painting of a horse barn next door to my friend's house in the canyon at Crooked River Ranch where I live in Oregon.  The orange-leaved tree in the scene inspired me to paint what I was seeing as I left the friend's house one day in early October.  Joining in with Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday.

Two Birds by Latane

October is slipping away from us. This morning I felt Fall in the air. That's alright. I like the changing of the seasons. 

Now for a couple of birds for you today. This one done with graphic pencils.

and another, in watercolor.
