Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

© AnnHoffpauir The American Goldfinch is one of many song birds or yard birds, that travel through our property every spring and fall. I didn't realize how many different species of birds came our way until I took the time to really look. We have this one, the Goldfinch, Warblers, Eastern Bluebirds and Cardinals just to name a few. I am planning to paint a series of birds, songs birds first. Later, birds of prey and more water birds. If you especially like a particular bird leave me a note and I will paint it and post it.

  Florida Spoonbill Painting by Nancy Medina 16X20 Oil on Linen Purchase Information Videos France, Italy and the US - Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter I've been wanting to paint a Spoonbill for some time, mainly because they are beautiful birds, and they are pink! Since I'm heading to Florida very soon to teach, it seemed a good time to unveil my Roseate fellow. Upon closer inspection, with his spoon shaped nose, perhaps he is does not cut the elegant silhouette of the Blue Heron, but I still find him very appealing, with his lemon yellow face paint and his scarlet feathers. Wouldn't it be kismet if I were to actually see one of these fellows during my visit? If so, you'll be the first to hear about it! Detail from Roseate Spoonbill

Out On A Limb 12" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Bird Painting by  Kay Wyne Day #6 of the  30 Paintings/30 Days with Leslie Saeta Hot off my easel....below you can see the progression as I placed the birds and limbs with a rough painting.  I wanted to placement to allow the viewer's eye to roam around and go from bird to bird.   Once I get the general placement of the subject matter on the canvas, I block in colors.  Using large brushes, I can cover lots of space quickly. More color, not alot of details yet.  Layers and layers of oils go on.... More paint and more paint.  I wanted a colorful and painterly piece...more paint. And More color...setting the eyes in the birds were some of the last touches.  More layers especially in the nest, but trying to stay loose with my strokes. Thanks for looking at the art posted here....more paintin...

BUHO DE ORO by Debbie Cannatella 30"x22" transparent watercolor (38"x30" FR) This golden barn owl was so compelling I had to put it on paper.  I saw him in an exhibit at a Falconer's show in a Renaissance Festival. It was selected by the curator for the invitation cover for my upcoming exhibition. It can be ordered in a limited edition giclee print on my website here . This is one of a series of wildlife paintings that will be in a new one-woman solo exhibition "The Natural World" in the Kuchera Gallery at the Art Center of Corpus Christi, Texas for the month of November 2013. For more works on paper see my website   or contact me through my gallery at Studio C Gallery .

  SENTINEL by Debbie Cannatella 22"x30" transparent watercolor (30"x38" FR) "Hobbs" the great blue heron was an injured bird with a mangled leg that was rehabilitated at the ARC, the Animal Rehabilitation Clinic on Mustang Island here near Corpus Christi. A volunteer worker who helped take care of Hobbs asked me to come do a photo shoot with him so that I could paint a commissioned piece for her. Though Hobbs was rehabbed and released into the wild, he returns every day for a fishy snack, and right on cue, he flew in for a treat. After completing the commission, I had tons of photos of Hobbs left, so he is now featured in a number of my paintings. This particular painting won an award in the spring 2012 Exhibition of the Watercolor Society of South Texas annual exhibition.  This is one of a series of wildlife paintings that will be in a new one-woman solo exhibition "The Natural World" in the Kuchera Gallery at the Art Center of Cor...

  LANDING by Debbie Cannatella 30"x22" transparent watercolor (38"x30" FR) Originally from South Louisiana, I was glad to be in the land of the brown pelican again when we moved to Corpus Christi TX. I have a fascination with pelicans, particularly the saltwater loving brown pelican. I can watch them glide just inches above the surface of the gulf for hours and a formation of them is captivating. This is one of a series of wildlife paintings that will be in a new one-woman solo exhibition "The Natural World" in the Kuchera Gallery at the Art Center of Corpus Christi, Texas for the month of November 2013.

Winter Cardinal By Emily Leland Throughout the year I seem to have about 6-7 pair of Cardinals grazing and chattering in my back yard. Some mornings one of them will be insistent and almost knock at my window telling me to come out and feed them. For many years I have been feeding them in the steel St. Francis bird feeders that I design and fabricate. These are beautiful loyal birds to each other chattering across the way and down the creek. Enjoy. 8x10 gallery wrap see also on my website at www.emilyleland.com
