Flicker and abstract landscape....Another Flew the Coop

SOLD

Last weekend was the Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts and I had entered this painting in the show and happy to say he has flown the coop, (my art studio) and found a new home.

"CAN'T SEE THE FOREST THRU THE TREES"

  (SOLD)
Sometimes trying to get the color right when I edit the pictures for a post can be a challenge. I had bought myself a new camera before the holidays and it really does a better job of  getting certain colors correctly then my old camera.  I replaced my Canon Powershot zoom for a Nikon D5100 and it's been a fun camera to learn.  I do miss the long zoom the Canon had but the quality of the pictures left a lot to be desired with the longer zoom. I bought the new one at Costco because the Nikon came with two lenses, a 18mm-55mm and a 55mm - 300mm.

"DID YOU HEAR ME?" and "YES DEAR" (BOTH SOLD)

                                                                                                                          

 We have such a variety of birds that come to our feeders.  My husband gave these two the tiles because he felt the one on the right looked like he was being chastised by the other bird, perhaps his mate. These are two STELLAR JAYS.

TITLE FOR BIRD ON LEFT IS  "DID YOU HEAR ME? BIRD ON RIGHT TITLE IS    "YES DEAR".

I always know when they show up at the feeders because they are the noisiest creatures.  I decided to try my hand at working in acrylic this time along with the collage.  I find my work is tighter when I do the birds in acrylic rather then oils.  The collaged images on the side are from my own photographs; and I work from my own photographs to paint the birds.

On another note; I had a devil of a time trying to upload the pictures from my computer.  When I clicked on the insert the image button it wouldn't display the "choose file " button.  After some searching online I read that if I hit the HTML button in my post I could do it that way, then return to the compose button.  Talking about going in thru the back door!  Has any one else had this problem and if so what is the fix????
 

 EACH of the paintings are $125.00 with shipping $15.00 in the USA, framed in black floater frames.
