Today is the very last day for the Lake Country Under100 exhibition and fundraiser. They are open all day! This tiny 5x5 oil painting on walnut wood is one of the two extra pieces I dropped off last week after the others had all sold. I don’t know if it is still there, but last I heard there was only one left. Other artists also delivered more extras last week so there are wonderful gift choices available! Check out @lakecountryartgallery for contact information to see about their safe viewing and shopping options.

More little birdie studies ...

Thanks to local Okanagan bird expert Keith Richardson for sharing photos to help me as references for this series of little studies. I have learned a lot about white crowned sparrows!

On the table today, some examples of mini pieces for my Forest House Studio “Lifelines” series. There are also some others on lighter poplar that are almost done. It took a bit longer than expected to get to the final varnish stage because of the waiting between layers of oil paint glazes, but in a day or two most of these will be ready to go. One is already sold. ❤️
