More Blue and Odo

I revisited those blue botches that I made a few days ago over my coffee this morning.  I'm still avoiding that larger painting....too many colors.

I like the smokiness to the right and I think the darker stuff in the upper left is cool too.  I see antlers again.......or branches.

Odo says enough with the antlers already lady! He can be harsh sometimes.

Definitely antlers in there.........

.....and that smokiness on the right....maybe it's this critters breath.....it's early morning and cold....or something.

Some darker blues and finding a light source.

There's those antlers I saw.  Added some white gouache for highlights.

Finished.  

Sunday scribbles.........

I really wanted to start a new painting today.........but I got really distracted.  Everything was more fascinating than this blank piece of paper.  Finally forced myself to scribble something on it.

Then I got talking on the phone and this happened.  May have taken some artistic license with that beak.  I think the bleedy watercolor stuff is way more interesting than my sketch.

Now I'm thinking that I want to work on this guy that I started last weekend for a bit.  I want to do a series of red riding hood wolves, but they are way different than what I usually do (at least I think they are).  Which is scary, but kind of cool.  Hope to learn something new.

This was my first wolf.  I'm using acrylics for these.  I'm fighting them the whole way....keep expecting them to act like watercolors.  What was I thinking?!

Bird shapes......

 I sat at my table for ages yesterday and this is all I have to show for it.  I tore through loads of paper in the process.  These are just some bird shapes done with pencil.

More bird shapes......I grabbed a ballpoint pen at the end.

Wanna see more?  look here!

Some more of me......
To keep this blog from looking pathetic.....Here are some more examples of what I do.

 I like birds.  I'm not trying to be realistic with them.........

 I'd really like to put as little as possible on the page and still have it look like a bird.
