it’s been a while. i had a wonderful visit to the uk,

and returned straight to back to school madness, with

some busy weekends thrown in. i also started working

on Serpentine’s sequel again! and have our annual brush

painting art show beginning next week in Spanish Village

at Balboa Park.

here’s my latest brush painting. i had been trying to

paint a kingfisher on rock from a painting book, but

didn’t have much luck, so decided to google for a kingfisher

image. the first one that popped up was this regal little guy.

how could i resist?

the resulting painting was this little guy!

my teacher and i had a big discussion about how we

should place him, on a branch, on a rock? with flowers?

in the end, i wanted to paint the rock and nothing else, as

he’s the main focus of this painting! i had so much fun doing

his “mohawk”. =D hope you enjoy him as much as i do.
