I think that I am getting a little too excited about mason jars. I love the colors through the glass.</div>

Glass is really fun to paint. You start painting what you see, and it looks like nothing for a long time. Then when you add some highlights, poof-a glass jar! Kind of exciting, in a nerdy way.</div>

This little bird is giving the piggy an earful. It looks loud, right? My daughter Anna painted the ceramic piggy bank. My husband brought the bird whistle back from a trip to Romania. You fill the whistle with some water and it makes a warbley sound when you blow in it.

No, I have never been to Ireland. Sigh. Years ago I found a coffee table book about Ireland at a rummage sale. The photo of a thatched roof cottage on the cover captured my attention. I used it as a reference for this painting. One day I hope to travel to Ireland and come home with lots of reference photos of my own. Sigh.</div>

This guy started life as a very realistic owl. He belongs to the Birmingham Zoo and I took several good photos of him for reference. I spent a whole morning painting him and just couldn't make it work. He got wiped off completely, twice. Then he emerged as this bright, colorful guy, and we were both happy.

Little hummingbird paintings on 4"x4" canvas. We have a feeder outside of our dining room window. I love watching the tiny birds coming to get a drink. They perch on a wire nearby waiting their turn. Hummingbirds are really territorial, so there is always some drama going on. These are ruby throated males.</div>

When I do pet portraits I usually work from photos that the owner has taken. I'm careful to grid off the reference photo to get the dog's proportions just right. You can see other pet portraits on my website, clairehenningart.com</div>

It's been a long time since I've posted, lots of life happening, but probably it's just my new Iphone sucking up too much of my time. I've not had a "smart" phone before, and I have to tell you, I have been way too excited about it.<br />
I met this Border Collie (and his human) at a gas station during a road trip a while back. He was sitting in the front seat waiting while the car was filled up. I got a couple of great photos of him. He reminded me so much of my dad's dog, Mikey, who also rode in the front seat everywhere my dad went.<br />

Last week we had our first snow of the season. Flurries at first, then by afternoon the roads were a mess, and a couple of inches had accumulated. But, it is Alabama, so by dinner time most of it had melted. I painted this little guy in honor of our snow day. <a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/102971" target="_blank">Click here to buy.</a></div>

My front porch this Christmas! I spent Friday morning cleaning and oiling up this old sled from David's childhood. The skates were Daly's, the reindeer was passed down from my mother-in-law. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I also gave the window boxes a holiday update. They make me smile as I come and go!<br />

My sister and I traveled to DOGTOWN, AL (really, there is a place named Dogtown) today for a visit to Akins Furniture. It's a HUGE furniture store in a series of rambling, connected buildings in the middle of nowhere known for their great prices. We traveled about an hour and a half from Birmingham and it was well worth the trip. Here is the dining furniture I bought. I got the table and six chairs for what I would have paid for just the chairs. Score! Can't wait to have it in my dining room.</div>

It's cool again today. Such is the roller coaster of weather in Alabama, air conditioning yesterday, sweaters today. I painted these sunflowers from an old sketch in my nature journal. When I finished them, they looked like they needed a bird on them. Bluebird on Sunflowers. Oil on 24"x12" canvas.</div>

Pumpkin stacking this weekend. I'm pretty sure that it is a city ordinance that everyone must have a stack of pumpkins on the porch. This is ours - I certainly don't want to be fined. I fell in love with the muted colors of these pumpkins. That's our Golden, Chelsea the photo bomber.</div>

After some rain last night, a cold front has moved through bringing us the first really chilly temperatures and a brisk breeze. Sweater weather. Yes.</div>
