Called, ” Spring Scents ” Original 5″ x 7″ oil painting
September, October and November have such beautiful Harvest Moons and this was on November 2 with the moon going to a full moon on November 6th. I could have painted a full moon yet there was a uniqueness in the moon being asymmetric, especially with the sandhill cranes flying past. The scale of the sandhill cranes is definitely a miniature size and by painting on a 9″ x 12″ stretched canvas in a miniature scale, this gives me a new genre and I’ll be able to paint a decent background and create an interesting story. My larger scale 9×12 and 11×14 show mostly my bird but not much room for an interesting background, so this is called a “hybrid miniature” painting and starts today. I’ll be using both stretched canvas and Masonite hard board for my supports and no framing. If you enjoy bidding try my eBay Shop, if you like a fixed price try my ETSY Shop. This painting is to be listed on my eBay Shop today for 7 days, if you like check it out, thank you for your consideration, please check weekly as I paint new original oil paintings. Many thanks!
If you are new to my WordPress and want to make suggestions, please send your query or comment. Sandhill cranes and whooping cranes have been my main focus this year and as 2015 approaches will consider new subjects. With hope,

Titled, ” Rising Moon ” Original 9×12 oil painting on stretched canvas
In today’s blog, my original miniature watercolor of a bull buffalo, is titled, ” Spring Scents ” and is a miniature 4″ x 6″ watercolor. This package is called Springett’s ” Special Bundle ” so let me explain what you receive when you order on ETSY.
You get the original miniature 4×6 watercolor painting, the wooden miniature easel, a 5×8 lined notebook, a premium 5×7 card print and premium envelope, a custom coffee mug with painting on your cup, and my signed and sealed Letter of Authenticity. Please note the original painting image and also the image of all the above items, for one price as is listed on ETSY. Thank you for your consideration of purchasing a Springett Original painting package called Springett’s “Special Bundle.”
The next painting that I am working on is a painting called, ” Sandhill Symmetry ” and this is a 13″ x 40 ” original oil painting with 5 sandhill cranes flying across the sky in their early morning rising from their evening roost to leave Crex Meadows for the day to feed in local farm fields that the corn has been harvested and they are cleaning up the surplus left from picking, they are no dummies, smile! The first image is the step #1, the sketch with the Masonite hard board mounted in the aged wooden frame that once upon a time was a park bench, probably over 100 years old so a lot of character in this frame, left rustic to enhance the original oil painting. Step #2 is the first color layer for the sky, and while this probably does not look like much, there will be new color layers laid over this first layer once the first layer is dry. And I will build the layers until I have achieved the luminosity that I am looking for. You will not see on your color screen on your computer but you’ll see if you buy my original. I do not change the color of the original oil painting on my software to make look other than is, so I work with camera and software to match the actual color that I develop from my original painting. Others have asked about but no Photoshop enhancing, none at all. This painting will be made available on ETSY too, in the next week depending on how long I have to wait for the first layer to dry before painting the next color layer. I am not painting wet into wet oil paints dues to the mixing and want to develop the maximum luminosity and that can only happen when layering one dry layer at a time, wet over dry in thin layers, not fat over lean in this case.
Have a great day and if you want to kibitz on my oil painting techniques send your query and I’ll get back and answer your questions promptly. For those of you who wonder my paints, I use Lukas berlin water base oils and Winsor and Newton’s Artisian water base. I do not prefer titanium white, too opaque, but use zinc white which is very transparent. If you are trying to develop great depth opaque paints stop that, transparency is necessary. If you have painted in watercolors then you know, and if you haven’t not a problem either.
Thank you for your consideration, Spring Images LLC has been in business since 2008 and we hope to grow the business by adding one happy customer at a time. None of my work subject or composition is ever repeated, and my color palette changes on each painting, so no I do not use just a few colors, every painting sold is unique and a one of a kind image, not to be repeated. I do not use the dual color system with 2 blues, 2 reds and 2 yellows. The color palette is solely dependent on the image I am going to paint and that is how I decide what paint I am going to use. For me this is the challenge of original painting, each painting is totally new.
With hope,

With each year the fall migration in our area is spectacular, and in North America we have 15,000 sandhill cranes gathering in Crex, and about Thanksgiving they start their migration to TN, AL, and FL, returning the following spring in March and April.
In this original oil painting on a 9x12x3/4 stretched canvas, the wrap around sides are painted so you do not need to frame your painting and looks good and will balance in your room. This is a colorful landscape in Crex Meadows in September as this sandhill crane family is leaving to find the surrounding corn fields in the area outside Crex. The last bird on the right is the juvenile sandhill with an auburn colored crown and not the deep red scarlet like the adult birds, next spring after molting the juvenile will take on the deep red color in their cap too.
You can visit my ETSY SHOP go to http://www.etsy.com and the name of my shop is jimmyspringett spelled just like that no spaces between first and last name.
Thank you for considering owning a Springett Original oil painting, and enjoy your evening, with hope.

Each painting for me is a work of love, and not one that I paint is painted technically speaking, only from my heart and that makes painting a breeze for me and not so popular on the street but that is ok because what is hip is not always the best, and i can only paint a few paintings a year, I sell only original oil paintings, real fine art, not a print or copy, why do that??
Sunrise is an awesome light in the morning and these birds are up early, usually way before people have opened their eyes or their brains and they do this everyday, they are super vigilant and faithful to God, to show man a dimension that he often forgets in being so important. All birds have a very special purpose and that is wonderful to watch and see the Glory Of The Lord.
I hope everyone is having a very good Advent in preparation for Christmas in 8 days, and may all your families have safe journey, w peace, joy, happiness, hope, and most of all love. Jimmy Springett wildlife painter
