Betty Baker Birdhouse

I am gardening this week vicariously of course! I have enjoyed greens, and this one has many. I don't know why, but many painters don't like greens. In reading Mike Rooney's blog, which I recommend, he said that he mixes ultramarine with cad yellow to make green, then frequently will add sap green to give him more greens. Try it!

Betty Baker created these beautiful birdhouses and made them for years in her community. Many gardens far and wide have her signature houses. No garden is complete without one! This painting is 11x14" SOLD
