5 x 5 in.

I was just about to fall asleep for a nap, and you know that moment just before you drift off? Well sometimes for me that is the exact moment when an image for a painting will pop into my head. This little fellow was one of those images that popped into my head ~ then over breakfast after surfing this past Sunday, I sketched it out in crayon on one of those white paper tablecloths ~ then after breakfast I bought some orange and pink flowers at the farmer’s market and I knew that this color combination would present itself in a painting and this one seemed perfect for it. Oooh, and I can’t forget my most favorite part of this painting ~ if you look real close, you can see the tiny white fuzzy feathers I painted on this chickadee.

Who knew naps were so productive?

hope you had a nice holiday weekend!
