Feathers for Supper

"Feathers for Supper"

12" x 26" acrylic on blue shalimar

...a 'Spirit in Stone'

This is a depiction of a bluebird narrowly missing being supper for a red fox.  The remarkable reliefs in this stone include the fox's tail and hind quarters and the bird's upper wing, head and beak... not to mention the overall shape of the stone to get both subjects in perspective to tell a story. 

The foxes are finished!

"Georgia Red"

30" x 40" acrylic on deep gallery-wrapped canvas

After applying the marvelous suggestions from Deb Pero and Debbie Anderson, I'm calling this one finished.  I like the way the colors harmonize now.  I removed what Debbie called a 'cinnamon bun' root that was distracting as well as adding the warm reflected light that Deb suggested.  Thanks, you two!  I really believe this is a much stronger composition than the original and I certainly learned a lot by going back into it.

This painting, along with about 50 others at last count, will be available at my solo show in late April at Art on the Avenue in Macon, GA.
