"Preparing For Flight" Bird Paintings by Colorado Artist Mary Arneson

8.5 x 11 watercolor and acrylic on 140lb cold press watercolor paper

I love watching baby birds learn how to fly. Painting them is a challenge and a joy for me. While trying to capture some realism I also want to paint with imagination.

This painting is on its way to Fort Worth, TX for exhibition. How fun is that!!

"High Wire Act" Bird Painting by Colorado Artist Mary Arneson

July 12, 2011 - SOLD
Watercolor and Acrylic on 9 x 12 Canson 140lb Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper

Ready for framing, this piece was inspired by a photo I've seen many times in many places. Although I've searched, I don't know who took the photo. I'm hoping they don't mind that it was the inspiration for this painting. If you know the origins of the photo, please let me know so I can contact the photographer! If you want this painting, just email me.

"Out on a Limb 1 and 2" by Astrid Paustian

Watercolor, 12" x 9", $225.-

Oil on canvas panel, 12" x 9", $325.-
My friend Tom Weeks, gifted photographer from Boulder, Colorado, generously allowed me to paint his new owl photo, taken last week. This young owl hatched in late March, and is looking out into the new world.
I tried both, an oil and a watercolor version, these past 2 days, fascinated by the expressive face in a "bundle of fluff".

Bird Series - Baby Robin, daily painting original © Carol Nelson Fine Art

This little guy is the last to leave the nest. All his nestmates have taken the plunge and he seems to be getting up his courage to follow them.

Baby robins seem very vulnerable in the first few days out of the nest because you can walk right up to them. A cat would have no difficulty in ending it all.
