Extinct #1
This is one of the many things I have been busy with this last week. I wanted to have some more examples of more traditional oil paintings for my applications to colleges for teaching. Also, there is a call for entries for an upcoming bird show, so in a sense they kill two birds with one stone.I also bought a suit yesterday from Men's Warehouse. I need one if I am to enter the world of adults soon. I felt like a little boy getting his first neck tie. Of course, the salesman, Earl, knew that as well. When it came to trying the pants on, I realized that I wasn't wearing any underwear. I used to make this a policy on days off - "No Work, No Underwear. It's my day off!" But that soon proved to be impractical, especially when clothes shopping. Anyway, it's a good thing I bought the suit.
I am very happy that we got back online at home. Oh! Sweet internet. How I missed you!

I really like the painting in this post. But then, I'm a sucker for birds. Any animal, really.
I'm afraid I'd have gone crazy with no Internet. Don't quite know how you managed without it. Glad your back, tho.

I like the background color, seriously. Did you paint that too?

Thanks for the shoutouts. Courtney, I did paint the background. In fact, it is painted on the back of stretched canvas with another painting on "the front." It was just a figure painting from a life painting class and I didn't want to throw it away, but I didn't know what to do with it either. I will faux finish the stretcher bars so that it will look like a semi-normal framed piece on the wall.

I think I know why that bird went extinct.

Dude I will totally buy that painting if you ever decide to sell it.

yeah, do you sell any paintings? Like in price's regular people can actually afford?

I think I will sell these for around $250 - $350.
