Today I decided my “Little Lady Cardinal” needed a a gentleman Cardinal to keep her company.  So here he is, in all his scarlet feathered glory.

Today I was able to paint! Woohoo! I’m going to try and complete 30 mini canvases this month. All 4x4” or 4x5” sizes. Today I wanted another cute little “chippy” as we like to call them here. I took the reference photo at my mother-in-laws. She feeds them and they are so bold and gluttonous!

Today was the second day of my local Art in the Park, it was a great event and very busy, which is great for an artist! I will have to rely on one of my (paint ahead) pieces again today. Here’s a little chipmunk to brighten your day.

“Little Lady Cardinal” I’m taking part in the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge again this year. Thank goodness they allow you to paint ahead! Today was the 1st day of the annual Art in the Park so I did not have time to paint today. I painted this little female cardinal for the challenge on a 4” x 5” little canvas with acrylic paint. Check back tomorrow to see another tiny painting. 😀 #paintingchallenge #30paintingsin30days #dailypainting
