Painting

Wednesday, I finally had some time to do a little practice paintinig.
I have long wanted to use oil paints but fear has stiffled me.
It does no help when your Grandmother was an award winning artist, nor that history of her family stretches back hundreds or years with accomplished artists!
On father's side, the entire family is artsy-fartsy too.

So, I decided I would do a picture for my mother for Christmas.
I chose to do a woodpecker.
So, I did nine woodpeckers, with some tragic results!
John Audubon I am not ......
But, at least one of them was a decent bird.
Too bad the rest of the background.
Sigh .....

But we shall overcome .....
