#oil paintings

After Failure by Vasily Vasilievich Vereshchagin, 1868

Painting depicts a Russian infantryman lighting his pipe after taking care of some villainous Turks, likely during the Crimean War. 

First ever tried oil paintings.

Here’s a pile of little oil paintings I finished recently. Each is 5″x7″ and is oil on panel.

“Crepuscular” Short-Eared Owl
“Sunrise Glimmer” American Crow
“Tanzanite” Prairie Warbler
“Peridot” Chestnut-Sided Warbler
“Citrine” Black-throated Green Warbler

A very special thanks to Andy Reago & Chrissy McClarren of Flickr for their permission and reference photos for the short-eared owl and the prairie warbler!

Here’s my work from this year, delivered to the gallery (West End gallery, Corning NY). It sure has been a year, feeling like I’ve been in “survival mode”. It’s been a challenge to make art. That said, some of these felt really great to paint.
