Sleeping Buddies Original Oil Painting

After doing Praying Polar Bear I got an idea to do a baby polar bear with a little mouse cuddled up to him.  So I turned the adult polar bear into a cub with my magic paint brush...ok, it's not magic, just thought it sounded good.  added a mouse and there we have Sleeping Buddies aceo.  Oil on card stock. 
Soon to be listed in my etsy shop.

Praying Polar Bear Original Oil Painting

This is an 12x16 inch oil painting of a Polar Bear with his front paws together as if he were praying.  Reference photo by my daughter, Jessica Thour.  Copyright 2004.

Black Swan

First off, I am delighted to say that my Mr. Peacock painting has sold!  What a nice feeling that is.

This next painting is called Black Swan and it is a 6x8 inch oil painting on canvas panel.  If interested, it can be purchased through my etsy shop

Here is one of the many products available in my zazzle shop with the Black Swan image.  That shop really keeps me busy.

Mr. Peacock Original Painting

 Mr. Peacock 11x14 oil on stretched canvas

Can be found in my etsy shop.

I love how he turned out, especially the tail!   It's been done for a few days, except something was missing.  That's when I added the blue on the bottom left below his tail where it dips and the bit of green above the dip.  That tied the sky and grass in.

This is my daughter's bunny, Moe.  He lives in her room and we keep the cage door open and he has the run of the room.  We are able to do this because he is litter trained and is a good little bunny.  Before we had free range of the room, he use to dig at the carpet (not good) until I took a big Yellow Pages phone book, opened it and left it where he likes to dig.  The room is bunny proofed to keep him safe.  We leave her bedroom door open, but he stays in her room and is too scared to come out.

 It's not easy to sneak up on a bunny while they are sleeping.  But I did and managed to get a picture.  I know, it turned out a bit blurry, but I caught him sleeping!

This is the second shot I took, and as you can see he is now awake, looking at me like, "Hey, I'm sleeping here, do you mind?"

hugs,
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!

My Hero the Sailor

I have wanted to do this painting for quite a long time, and it means very much to me.  This painting, My Hero the Sailor is in fact a painting of my dad back when he was in the Navy during the Korean War.  I am very proud of my dad and love him so very much.  He is a strong man of God and a wonderful roll model.  He has always been there for me and my family.  If I could have hand picked my dad, I would have picked this man.  Love you dad!!!

Little Red Betta Fish

Here's my finished Little Red Betta Fish painting.  I had him almost done quite a while ago, just for some tweaking that I finally got around to.  He is a tiny little painting, only 3x3 inches for $25.  If interested, you can find him in my etsy shop.
He also is in my zazzle shop where you can buy gifts featuring this Little Red Betta Fish.

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,
