Play Time With Inks

I took a couple of hours or so today to just play with my alcohol inks.  No planning, just playing and it was so much fun.  This is the only medium I can do that with.  These are the results.  What do you think?

Hope you can take some time to play too : )
Have a great day,
Brenda

Peacock and Peahen Portraits

I have been busy painting a lot lately, and it's been great!  Here are my latest two paintings.  They are both 5x7 oil on Masonite board prepared with 4 layers of gesso

Peahen Portrait for $55

Peacock Portrait for $55

in my etsy shop.

Did you know that the peacock is in the peafowl family?  The male is called a peacock, the female is a peahen and the babies are called peachicks.  This is something that I recently learned while catagorizing my Beautiful Peacock photo in my photo zazzle shop!

Little Blue Betta Fish

Here is my Little Blue Betta Fish painting.  Painted with acrylic on a 3x3 inch canvas.  

Available in my etsy shop.

I really enjoyed painting this one with all the pretty colors.  I think the next one I do will be a red betta fish.  I already have the canvas sketched out and ready and I am excited to start.

Have a wonderful day,
