Sultry Fedora Girl, Original Watercolor 8x10" Miniature Art

Because my main focus for paintings is miniature bird watercolor, some of my recent paintings are way outside of the box for me.  This week's small format art painting was inspired by my love of hats, particularly the fedora.  This red-lipped sultry vixen was quite fun to paint!   ...and I didn't forget to incorporate a feathered friend - her bird art tattoo represents a ruby-throat hummingbird.  I think this little painting would add interest to any cozy, contemporary corner of your home or office.  

Thank you for looking at this Original 8x10" miniature art watercolor on Arches Board.

No Words Between Us.... an original watercolor and ink 11x14

Greetings, from the San Francisco Bay area! 

I happily created this monotone, figurative painting which will be used in a friend's poetry book to illustrate his poem called No Words Between Us.  This was an extremely fun project!  She is painted using Neutral Tint paints and micron pen.  I'm so pleased with this painting, and i hope you will enjoy it! 

It will be for sale sometime in September 2015. 

Thank you for looking!

You can contact me with any comments or questions, anytime!  I'm always thrilled to hear from you.   choey007@gmail.com

These little birds make great pets, for those of us who have a lot of time to spend with an animal.  Birds are very social creatures and truly need daily attention and companionship.

Wild Bird Art - Hermit Thrush Original Watercolor 8x6"

I like to sit outside on my door stoop with my camera and watch the neighborhood birds go about their day.  Many times, they come to forage for insects or to rest in the ivy which clings to the side of the house and on the fence.  

Just last week, i noticed a hermit thrush for the first time.  He is bold and brave and does not seem to be bothered by my presence.  I was fortunate enough to watch him for a while.   The thrush decided to land in the ivy and was observing his surroundings.  Here is my rendition of the little guy as he sits in the ivy.  

This original, 8x6" bird painting was created using professional quality watercolors on Arches  board.


This beautiful miniature work of art is available for sale on Ebay HERE.  Thank you for looking!

I'd love it if all of you bird lovers would follow me on Ebay.
