I just counted these little oils and it appears I’ve painted 35 of them in 2026. I must like doing it, or else I’m just goofed up on the paint fumes. I started these last fall in an effort to get a little better at oils, and I think I’m getting there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These three are now available on my Eifert Gallery on Etsy,<\/a> $125 each, framed as you see them here. Shipping is free. The gold frame is 7″x 9″ on the outside measurement. They’re all still available as of April 10, 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n

This painting is now sold. Sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I’ve said, these are all sort of a journal of my experiences. We have Anna’s Hummingbirds here year-round, but recently here came this Rufous Hummingbird male soon followed by a mate. Bedlam on the feeders. So I made a painting of the male. That’s a LOT of feathers for such a little bird. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This second effort is a local trail in a local state park, a patch of old growth forest I always enjoy. Forests are so complicated and I enjoy figuring out how to simply them. This one I named ‘Dark Trail’. Here it is in the gallery. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

These two square paintings are oil on canvas, outside frame measurements are both 8″x8″. Shipping is included. $125 each.<\/p>\n\n\n

This last oil I called Sunset Trail, but it’s really the same trail a few hundred yards uphill from the painting above. Same size, same price as the other. Here’s the gallery link.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
