Original oil painting Studio painting day - hummingbird by Karen Tarlton

 All set up and back to painting some colorful animals!
I must be extremely right brained 
because I love to paint with my left hand behind my back,
completely out of the way :)

 Finished up the latest Longhorn which needs to dry.

 My studio - mate Sandi, hard at work.
It's so wonderful to paint alongside her!

The latest new 6x6 mini Hummingbird Dance just listed!
