I've finally started some new paintings. It's been too long! Here is a glimpse of the works in progress. Yes, the paint is a work in progress in itself.

Here are some paintings I did back in October. They wouldn't scan without ridiculous shadows so I had to wait to photograph them. Not the best photos, but it's better than nothing- basically I was tired of waiting. I love these paintings! So many possibilities! I'm envisioning many more, with a variety of little trinkets in their nests. The first one is 9x12 and the others are 5x7. I plan to list the smaller ones on etsy.
