Eastern Yellow Robin in acrylics

Robin's are one of my favourite birds to paint.  I managed to see one  when down at Marcoola Beach in October - there was a nature corridor in front of the beach.  Managed to see quite a few different birds but, unfortunately, I never got any good photos.  Have to plan another mini break.

Eastern Yellow Robin measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Raymar Feather Lite Canvas Panel.

Many thanks to Patrick Kavanagh for the reference photo.

American Goldfinch ACEO in acrylics

I couldn't resist painting this cute fellow - just love the way he is positioned on the branch.  This one is in his winter plumage - in spring he will molt and be a vibrant yellow.

American Goldfinch measures 3.5 x 2.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth Arches Watercolour paper.

Many thanks to Rodney Campbell for the reference photo.

Sunrise over the Bay in acrylics

This one was fun to paint.  The reference photo was black and white so I decided to paint it as a sunrise scene.  Did a little study painting first to decide on the colours combination etc.  Really pleased with how it turned out.

Sunrise over the Bay measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Raymar Feather Lite Canvas panel.

 

Many thanks to Rob for the reference photo.

Cassowary ACEO in acrylics

I have had this one printed out for ages to print. Really pleased with how it turned out. They are a strange looking bird - I wouldn't like to come across one in the bush as they can do same serious damage with their claws.

The Cassowary is found in North Eastern Australia and the tropical forests of New Guinea.  Cassowaries are around 1.5 - 1.8 metres tall and weigh around 58.5 kilograms. They can run up to 50km/hour through dense forest!!

Cassowary measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches and is painted on 300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.

Many thanks to Robyn Lovelock for the reference photo.

Bald Eagle ACEO in acrylics

I enjoyed painting this one.  I am thinking about painting a larger version as I just love the intensity of its gaze.
