I love painting ravens and crows.

These fellows seem to be in a polite discussion.

I don't think that is how they usually converse.

Still working with oxidized copper on canvas board.  I tried this brown horse, which does show up better on this background, but seemed to need the outline.  I think I just like the look of the bold outline in this series.  What do you think?

Hi Yo Silver!

I remember Hopalong Cassidy.  Okay, I saw the reruns.  If you are too young or old & forgetful like me,  I've included the link to his web site.

This is another in the series using copper paint as the background. This time, I did not use the oxidizing additive and let the copper stand as it is.  The horse is oil paint, again outlined with permanent marker.  I'm finding that the copper color is so strong that it overwhelms anything painted on it.  I'm not giving up, I've a few more ideas to try.

Stand Off

These lizards are territorial and willing to fight for it.  If you live where lizards abound, as in Tucson, you've seen these stand offs.  Very dramatic bobbing of the heads and circling until one runs away.

It's "shoot out at the OK Corral" on a miniature size.

This is the second in my series of using oxidized copper as my background.

Hanging Out 6x6 (mixed media on canvas board)

I found this interesting paint called "Metal Effects" from Modern Masters

This one is "oxidizing copper paint" which oxidizes when a "patina aging solution" is applied over the copper.  I experimented with several canvases using various applications.  

I then painted this little lizard over the patina copper canvas board.  But the background competes with the focal object for your attention.  He just didn't show up very well.

So I added the extra markings and outlined the little fella with a black marker.

I liked the way he turned out in the end.  I'm going to do more of these patina/copper canvases.

Thank you for viewing my paintings.
