"H" is for "House Finch" Alphabet Mini Painting Challenge - Barbara Rudolph

"H" is for "House Finch"

in the "Alphabet Mini Paintings" challenge

Continuing on with the "Alphabet Mini's Painting Challenge" this month, I painted a "House Finch" for the letter "H".  Several of the artists that are participating in this challenge are painting or sculpting something every day working their way through the Alphabet.  Since I love to include a "bird" in each of my paintings I chose the "house finch."

Violin and Tanager painting "Diva" by Barbara Rudolph

"Diva"

This new oil painting is of a "violin" dated from the 20th century with a "western tanager".   I decided to name it "Diva."  Yes, I know what you are thinking... a "Diva" is a celebrated glamorous "female" singer, a star, divine, and a goddess...but this is a painting of a "male" tanager.  Well..... being in the art world, you will have to trust me when I say that I have seen many "queens" & "princesses" of the opposite sex too, so I decided to go with the title "Diva" anyway because I think it fits.  

This oil painting, "Diva" is 16 x 8" and will be for sale at "Jane Hamilton Fine Art" gallery, in Tucson, Arizona.  The show reception will be held on November 11th.  If you would like more information about this oil painting or the show, please get in touch with me or the gallery.

"Red White and Blue" Oil Painting "Arriving In Style"

"Arriving In Style"

I was trying to think of a painting that I have that is "Red White and Blue" for the "4th of July" ... that is also still available.  This oil painting "Arriving In Style" is "Red White and Blue."   It is painted on gallery wrapped canvas so the design continues around the edges of the canvas.  The size is 20x20x1.50.   It features a mother "bird" waiting for her eggs to hatch in style.  It is priced at $2000. but for the month of July only I will offer this painting for sale at "half price".  It was a lot of work and is also a very cheerful painting that will brighten up any room.  You can contact me with any questions or if you would like to see a high resolution photograph.

Your comments are welcome too.

Plein air arizona scene by BECKY JOY

 6x6 oil on canvas panel

Well, I keep on trying to paint these skies. This one is a little grayer in some of the colors than previous ones. In addition to this one, I painted two more today. But, they are under wraps right now.

As I told you yesterday, I repainted my plein air painting. So I thought that I would post it with my revisions. I took out the fence (the resembled a car) and I changes the design on the bushes on the left behind the tree. I still did not want the bushes to be distinct, because I wanted to keep it in the background. Once I start adding more detail in an area, it will bring it forward.


OK, tomorrow I'm moving on. No more work on this one.

Talk to you all later.
