I obeyed – Goldfinch Bird Series No 12 Day 12 30 in 30

5×7 Acrylic Impasto Palette Knife Painting
Goldfinch – Bird Series No 26
Available for purchase here

 

I don’t paint many 5x7s. When I was painting portraits, it felt like an awkward size to fit a face, but things have changed. I no longer paint portraits, so I bought 100 5x7s a couple weeks ago. I was thinking because of the length, florals will fit better on 5x7s, rather than on the 4x4s. The first thing I ended up painting was a bird, tho. That’s always the way it goes..the muse is the one in charge, never me. This little goldfinch was calling out to me to be painted, and so I had no other choice, I obeyed. 

Look what I got in the mail Saturday. 🙂 My advance copy of Art Journal Kickstarter. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but I did thumb through it, and look what I found on page 64 and 65. A couple pages from my art journal, which I made last winter. Pretty darn cool, huh? You can pick up a copy for yourself on Amazon.
