Here’s the second in a series of three oil paintings I’m creating for my home. See the first one here.
For the reference image, my neighbor shared her photo of the cattails down our road. We often walk by them with our dogs. You can see on the canvas below that I rearranged a couple of them for composition purposes.
I added the bird we often see among the cattails–a red-winged blackbird.


Scale Fail … 🤣 Not Ren’s fault.
It’s a 36″ x 24″ painting.
And… Voilá!

Next up: the Potato Bean!
Lovely. It brings up so many memories of similar scenes. Nature is such a gift. Our gifts are often extras discovered in the ordinary.
