because this challenge has been a big deal for me! I have really pushed myself to try some new techniques and step outside my comfort zone a bit. I still love the birds. I like to paint them soft and sweet with a calming background. To celebrate the end of the challenge and my continued love of painting the seagulls, I painted Big Deal today and he is BIG. Much larger than my ususal paintings, measuring 20" x 20"! That is a large watercolor in my books. I painted my beloved sweet and soft guy, just big. Thank you to all that have followed me through this challenge, the support has been appreciated. I invite you to continue to follow my blog as I will be posting new paintings.

This painting is available in my Etsy Shop
Just to give you an idea of Big Deal's size

DeleteBeautiful... love the simplicity which I know is hard to acheive!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Carol. And yes,it is a constant struggle to let the painting "work" instead of overworking it. Thank you again, Betty
DeleteThis is adorable. Congrats on completing the challenge
ReplyDeleteI agree, that pose is adorable. Beautiful style. And wow! I would have no idea it was so big without that second photo (even with the dimensions. I am terrible judging size!) Terrific painting!
