I like to paint grackles because of their iridescent plumage. See another post of a grackle painting http://nancystandlee.blogspot.com/search?q=grackle
This painting is my third assignment for the Neil Sperry Home and Garden Show the last of February and I may have to paint this one in a larger format for my painting blog.
Members of CBC who were at the Upstairs Gallery studio today were Maryann Stephens, Cindy Yandell, Cindy Campbell, Barbara Hackney and Karen Foster and I will add their paintings below.
Cindy Y, our resident oil painter, worked on a bear today and now we all want to explore oils.
I forgot to mention on the Graham blog post that while on that trip we were made aware of a fabulous oil painter who lives in Graham and if you're an oil painter you will want to check out her web site Kaye Franklin.
Because I don't follow oil painters I was not familiar with her work but it is lovely. It seems I have concentrated on who's who in watercolor and acrylics.

Great if you like the subject matter you have to
this article.
Excellent post, Nancy. Thanks for the search info. I hadn't noticed that little box at the top and that's exactly what I needed to know.
Your grackle is wonderful!
Nancy, I love the style you've developed -- great color and brush strokes, and wonderful "painterly" look. BT
This grackle is very nice, Nancy!
A colorful Grackle. Nice job, NS.

Thanks for all the nice comments and to Matt C. for the link to Stephen Curry's bird paintings. Beautiful, interesting paintings.

Wow - that is a gorgeously vibrant bird painting - we have a similiar-looking irridescent bird in South Africa called a glossy starling, I wonder if it's the same species?
