Calm in Chaos paintings

Been a bit of a chaotic week so have been doing some calming paintings.  I always find that painting even just for half an hour is so relaxing.  We havent had Spring yet so I have been painting it instead.  Hope you all have a lovely Easter holidays and remember the true meaning of Easter..new good beginnings... 

Be sure to check out the other art at Happy Paint Party Friday...

I like both paintings, but my absolute favorite is the one with the first one. I love the contrast between the soft and peaceful bird rendering against the strong and forceful strokes in the background. Blessings!

Beautiful bird and still life. That's the beauty of art and imagination, you can make your own weather. Lovely work and I hope your Spring comes soon.

I am totally in love with your birdy painting. I so have been painting spring instead of actually having it! It still calls for snow this week here in Germany. LAME.

I hope you're having a lovely weekend!
