33 - Blue Bird


Blue Bird 6 x 6 Oil on Gessobord $50 - Buy it here.


Found this little blue bird at Estes Park, Colorado. It was hopping along the trail on pieces of log. Seems unafraid of us humans since they are probably used to it from them walking there everyday. Very cute!

32 - Farm Goat

Farm Goat 6 x 6 Oil on Gessobord $50 - Buy it here.

My mother and I went to an Amish farm to buy some flowers for her yard. I came across this cute little goat laying in the sun...he (or she?) was so docile and calm. I took a picture and I'm really happy with the painting results! The base background color was a blend of bright fuchsia (Alizarin Crimson)  to Ultramarine blue. I loved how I dry brushed the background, it really makes it pop! :)

A Rat-Cha is a Chihuahua and Rat Terrier mix. Found this adorable puppy named Roxy at my younger sister's apartment at college who happens to be neighbors with frat boys who owned several of these puppies. So cute!

28 - Full Moon

Full Moon 6 x 6 Oil on Gessobord $45 - Buy it here.

I love this painting style! It was so much fun and I really enjoy this color since it's my favorite...teal!!! I like the imperfections and slightly cubic about the paint strokes...it reminds me of a cubic version of Van Gogh's Starry Night.

27 - Twin Sister Trail

Twin Sister Trail 6 x 6 Oil on Gessobord $45 - Buy it here.

This is one of the most beautiful hikes in Estes Park, Colorado. The Twin Sisters Peak has a hike of 7.2 miles with an elevation of 2,388' gain one way up. It was quite a view at the top! Super windy and sunny! Took me and my fiance's family about 3-4 hours to the top. Next hike, we'll be looking for a fourteener! A fourteener (14er) is a mountain that is over 14,000 ft in elevation and there are 53 in Colorado!
