Feathers.......

"Contemplation: Majestic Blue Jays"

by Susanna Pantas
oil on canvas, 11"x14"

Well, what can I say? Blue Jays are spectacular. From watching them, I've gleaned they are quite feisty and dignified. I know some bird watchers get annoyed with them because they're so temperamental, but I still love them. It is quite a delight to be walking through a wood, and see a quick flash of bright blue.

Black & White Stripes

The image above is of the painting I am currently working on, a trio of lovely bird feathers.  I found the feathers on a walk through the woods last year.  I know that the two largest are from a wild turkey, but I am not sure what the feather is on the right.  This painting is almost finished, and it has been a lot of fun to paint.  I LOVE the striped patterns & get a lot of satisfaction creating them.  It reminded me of the fun I had working on this painting:

Perhaps the gray dreary weather, with the persistent rain and cold winds, is inspiring me to create some color.  Below are a selection of images I have taken over these days spent at the easel.   All of the paintings shown below are still in progress, so please do check back for updates as they become more fleshed out.
