Cardinal in Mixed Media
Hello Friends!
The other day I covered this 8×10 wood panel with collage. Then today I decided to paint this Cardinal on it with acrylics. I had fun painting this since it has been ages since I have painted any birds. It was a nice change of pace.
I hope everyone has had a nice week. I had a relaxing week drawing and painting smaller things and cleaning up my studio. I made a space for a new floor easel I just ordered! It will support canvases up to 72″ high! Of couse I have never painted anything nearly that large! And I don’t know if I ever will, but at least I won’t have to bend over a table or sit on the floor to paint large canvases anymore! So for that I am grateful.
I found a great sale on an all wood H-frame easel made by So Ho. I am feeling a little nervous about getting something like this shipped in the mail and then having to put it together, but hopefully, everything will go fine.
Have a wonderful day! 😀

Oh I’m actually better at that stuff than he is! He hasn’t got as much patience as I do. I was actually kidding about it. There aren’t all that many pieces…I don’t think, lol!! 😂 And thank you. I’m glad you like it!

I’m sure you’ll figure out how to set up the easel. That should make it more comfortable to do your artwork.

Yeah, I know. And yes, I think standing straight for short periods of time will be easier than sitting or bending over the table.
