The Baltimore Oriole: Balancing Act #6


Baltimore Oriole Balancing Act #6, 2022 Oil on Panel 8"x8"

I was interested in finding how a very loose painterly ground would work with a tight subject.  As you can see I compromised a bit.  The light is probably due to the photographic process as much as the painting process. 


 

Organization Required

 It seems I have been uploading progress to another account.  I'm quite disorganized with accounts associated with both my professional name of Gunnels and my married name of LaGue.  Once I take the time to figure out how to merge them, I'll be more consistent.  This brings me to missed posts.  Below are the completed paintings that will be submitted to the Copley Society for the Annual Holiday Show.  They are all 6"x6" oil on Panel.
