Studies

  A few paintings from this week.

A meadowlark in a field of Queen Anne's lace and chicory. I've been wanting to add more nature images to my portfolio so this is the first one. 

The next two were created for the #12monthsofpaint challenge on Instagram. This month's theme is blue. 

This is a study of zebra pansies, which I just discovered this week thanks to Pinterest. I wish these would have turned out more stylized and less realistic but I guess that's the danger of looking at photo references. I need to draw them out from several sources and then draw exclusively for memory to put more of personality into it.
