The Salt Ponds, by Melissa A. Torres, 6x6 oil on canvas

I have a dear friend, and collector of my art, that lives in Virginia. We have never met in person, I only know him via Facebook, but I feel like I have known him most of my life. He is a Veteran and a graduate of West Point. He is a wonderful poet and photographer. He posts wonderful pictures of the view from his home. I painted one of them, with his permission, of course.

Bird Nests by Suzy Pal Powell

I am still painting each day.
These are 6x6 oil on gessobord. I hope to paint some larger at some point but right now, these are working for practice! I sold a couple, and had a couple of commissions.
The bird nests I found in our yard.
They are amazing! They find all colors of strings and twine, and tie it to the twigs. Is unreal! I can't even imagine how long it must take! Two of these are Oriole nests. The small nest is so fragile. Looks as if she found some roots to something and put them all together. It has a lot of cotton in it too. It blows my mind at how soft both these nests are inside. So cozy for their little babies!

This nest is on a 6x8 gessobord.
The last painting 'Blue Dishes' was done on 6x6 also. I found these blue dishes at Hobby Lobby and had to have one for set ups. They had cups and small little dishes to match.
These are all listed on Daily Paintworks for sale.

28 Days in February -Suzy Pal Powell

The 30 days of January went by pretty fast! I am going to try to keep doing a small painting each day. Not stop on 30, so this begins 28 days in February!
This is T-Bone, my daughters sweet little dog. It is painted with oil on an orange gessoboard.

The next one is our china cups. I painted it on a black gessobord, experimenting with different backgrounds. I really prefer red or orange.

The quail is painted on a black under painting also. We have been having blue quail come in the yard to eat. They are so pretty. This one was perched on an old chair that we have in the yard.
