Bird Series - Goldfinch, © Carol Nelson Fine Art

I love to see that flash of yellow in my yard. Goldfinches like to eat thistle seed. I suppose if I were a really serious birding enthusiast I would grow Canadian thistle plants for the birds, but I'm not that much of a birder, preferring to put out a little of the thistle seed for them instead.
This painting is painted on a wood Baroque Artist panel with natural wood cradled sides. For purchase information, please see my website.

Have you checked out the new Daily Painter Originals site yet? There are some wonderful daily painter members and I am honored to be a member of this group.

Leaf Series 4-7, colorful 3D leaves, © Carol Nelson Fine Art

I guess I'm in a leaf rut at the moment. These four bring the series up to a total of seven paintings. Each one measures 18x6 on wood panel. The leaves are hand painted on 300 lb watercolor paper and covered with a thick layer of crystal clear epoxy resin.

BIG, BIG, BIG Newsflash!!

Tomorrow, June 7th, marks the debut of a new online gallery called DAILY PAINTER ORIGINALS. Founded by artist Carolyn Finnell, this is a very talented group of daily painter artists and I am honored to be included as one of the charter members.

The size of the group will be limited to 30 artists, and there is still room for about 9 more members. If you are interested in being part of the group, please check the submissions guidelines on the site.

If you are a collector, this would be a great site to bookmark and visit regularly.
