On the Wing

oil on panel, 12" x 12"

Here is a case for putting paintings in a time-out room.  This is what later became "Space Balls," as seen in the previous post.  Although I like Space Balls, I now see that its predecessor had merit on its own.  I regret painting this one over, as I am in love with things with wings, and I see such a thing in this painting.  Ah well, live and learn, as they say.

Fragile

In keeping with my yellow/gray exploration, I could go on and on adding branches, birds and butterflies to this painting.  Instead, I decided to quit before it loses its feeling of space, something I find rather appealing.  Those little yellow birds are warblers, and I love how their cool yellow color pops next the cool gray, in this case payne's gray.
