I listed two new original paintings on ebay last night.
My heart lies with contemporary art as well as with figurative folk art, so I decided to explore some ideas I've had with a more modern edge.
I've been a bit obsessed with birds lately. You might remember my struggle to find a squirrel proof bird feeder earlier this year. I finally found one and have been enjoying the bird show ever since. I even spotted our woodpecker. I've heard him for years and he made an appearance at our feeder last week.
I'm not interested in faithfully representing a bird, I'm interested in exploring shape, pattern and color. Here is my first offering...
It has a bit of a mosaic feel to it too, altogether I'm happy.
Next was more of a traditional piece for me, I'm trying to push myself in loosening up, being more adventurous with the shape of the figure, and working BIG. I am meditating on the words BE BRAVE. I can create the same piece over and over, but I'm not growing, and not satisfying my creative spirit.

I love this angel. I am obsessed with shades of blues and rusts and you use them with such flair. I would love to venture out to do mixed media. You are a real inspiration.
Thank you Joji, to call some one an inspiration is one of the greatest compliments in my mind
This painting is so beautiful and I love that you're going to be painting birds too! I love to draw birds (you might have noticed!) The shapes of them are so pleasing to draw! :) xx
both are gorgeous! Nice to see you exploring other subjects...
