The Forever Kind

Close ups

Acrylic on 7x5 hardboard.

I first applied Super Heavy Gesso...it gave a great textured surface to work upon.

My title, "The Forever Kind", of course refers to love. The folks in the painting look as though they've seen a good number of Valentine's Days together...and will share the remaining ones for the rest of their days.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Thanks for looking!

Northern Flicker

Close ups

Mixed media on a 7x5 hardboard.

I used thin acrylic washes of ultr. blue, burnt sienna, and sap green--Tombow brush pen--Pitt Pen--and a touch of colored pencil.

I tried to play the realism of the bird against an abstract background. I liked how the acrylic washes flowed and beaded up to make interesting formations. The action of the thin acrylic upon the smooth gessoed hardboard was what really held my interest.

I just love painting birds. I had fun with it.

This is my submission to the WDE at Wet Canvas. The image was graciously supplied by Jeanette.
