Sitting Duck

oil on panel, 10" x 10"

It's back to birds now with this painting of a rare blue-headed mallard duck.  I love their shapes and colorings, especially those iridescent heads, and have a few more duck varieties in mind to paint.

Here's another sweet treat from the easel.  I'm having fun with this food theme at the moment, where I get to feature the texture of the paint itself, something I've been wanting to do for ages.

Baked Alaska

 

oil on canvas, 6" x 8"

I had an urge to paint some food and this seemed like a fun subject, using a palette knife to paint the ice cream layers within the dessert.  I've had the urge to paint food before but don't recall ever following through on it until now.
