Post 330: Cardinal Day Spa

Painting Name: Cardinal Day Spa

I recently went to Rehoboth Beach and Lewes, Delaware with a friend of mine for a couple of days. We stayed to the Avenue Inn and Day Spa and had a wonderful time including 5 o'clock happy hours, walking around Rehoboth and over the sand to the water, and partaking of facials and massages, seafood, and relaxing.

SKU: 10EH23AC

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 8x8 Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2023

Framed?: No

What Brought About this Painting?

Sometimes you just picture a painting in your head and start drawing it then throwing color at it according to your vision. A cardinal (or any bird, really) taking a bath is a funny thing to watch as they cautiously approach their chosen day spa spot, then shake, rattle, and roll, tossing water everywhere. They stretch their feathers and wings and wiggle their bodies, throwing water all about. Then quickly, leap out of the water and fly off to preen for a few minutes before they go about their business of food finding once again.

So out of the Avenue Inn and Day Spa and the beach, somehow I got to a bird bath painting. Was it the pool? The hot tub? Who knows. But when I got home, this is what I painted.

Rehoboth Beach

But I did go to Delaware from Sunday to Tuesday, October 22- 24, 2023. A little cool especially in the morning, but it was certainly a beautiful couple of days. And notice hardly anyone was on the boardwalk!

Post 293: Birdfeeder Bar

Painting Name: Birdfeeder Bar

Going by your window, you see a bright flash of color. Red. A flurry of bright orangey-red. The cardinals are at the birdfeeder.

SKU: 03F23ACG

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 10x20 Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2023

Framed?: No

What Brought About this Painting?

Four cardinals have bellied-up to the bar for their daily dose of seeds from the birdfeeder. Three male cardinals are perched on and around the feeder while the female cardinal dashes by.

This painting is in its "almost finished" state AKA (also known as) Tweak-State. I see that as the artist (me) studying the painting to see what final touchups or changes need to happen. The tweak might be small yet mighty (in a way). Sometimes those very tiny barely there final touches of a paint brush can make a painting. 

I also find it helps to not only look at the painting not only in person, but a photograph of it really makes a flaw stand out - maybe not a flaw, but a troubling area. I proceed with caution...

What do you think, what touch ups would you do?
