Goldfinches and Blue Lake Trail

I have still been painting a lot, though most days I can only concentrate for a couple of hours. I completed this one of two goldfinches in the little stream I had in my last yard. I had to move the male bird to make a better composition, but that wasn't too hard. I thought I would go crazy painting all those rocks though. I was feeling ready to switch to digital painting again.

But, there was a tree classroom going on at wetcanvas in acrylics so I decided to use that as an incentive to get this other painting off my to-do list. I love painting trees anyway, and thought this one would be quick and easy but though I tried to relax with it, it wasn't very relaxing until near the end.

And then I wanted to take part in the different strokes challenge, so I made a new ATC. This one was quick, though I didn't find the dog very easy to paint, especially since I changed the light direction.



Now I am back to digital painting and I am working on a picture of an iceberg from a monthly challenge at wetcanvas.
