Baby Birds - Fledglings Canvas Print

Two fluffed up fledglings getting cozy to stay warm.

These two tried very hard to be Siamese twins connected at the body, but I managed to keep them separated. It wasn't easy. They were painted with a pallet knife. I have been challenging myself to paint a series of bird paintings with only a pallet knife. It has been an additional challenge to paint them because I am doing them in water mixable oils on Aquabord.

Aquabord is intended for water media like watercolors. I thought I'd push the envelope and use oils instead. It has taken many layers to create the backgrounds and then the birds especially these turkeys...I mean...baby birds.

Expressive Portraits Of Animals And People: Jani is an award winning water media/graphite artist who paints and draws people and animals in a loose, painterly style she calls impressionistic realism. "I love playing interesting colors against each other; creating movement and texture with all the different medias mixing the medias as needed to add another layer of character and depth. It fits my adventurous spirit." She intentionally leaves a little to the viewer's imagination so they can be a part of her emotive, story-telling artwork. Jani is accomplished in a variety of medias and offers her fine art skills for pet portrait commissions in graphite, charcoal, watercolor, acrylic and oil. More Here. COMMISSIONS/LICENSING: E-MAIL...
