This painting has sold. It’s still good reading and the video is a hoot.
This painting is for sale, so drop me a note at larryeifert@gmail.com if you’re interested. Click the image and it should enlarge in your browser. This is an original acrylic painting on canvas, 18″ x 24″. A Certificate of Authentication is included, but I’m not broadcasting the price so I can show this on Youtube and Facebook. Frame options are available, and I’ll ship it in a double-boxed crate.
Below is a short video with me talking about this painting and the process.
This painting is an appreciation to a chestnut-backed chickadee family that has kept us company here for many years. They’re not the same birds, of course, but each year a few new ones appear, the ‘cast’ evolves – but it’s still about a half a dozen that hang together as one flock. They spend their time poking around for seeds and bugs, staying together for safety, but each morning after I fill the tray feeder they’re on it instantly, dodging squirrels and the bigger varied thrushes. This painting is sort of a snapshot, a moment in time as I saw it in February, with early miner’s lettuce leaves just beginning to come up through last fall’s alder and cherry leaves.
Here’s the log model I worked from.
Below are some enlargements of the painting, mainly for phone viewing.
