Chickadee Wreath

I just finished a canvas painting entitled "Chickadee Wreath". This coinsides with all the beautiful warm weather we have been having lately in NY. You cannot ask for more then that in February that is for sure. I hope this piece of art reminds you of spring .

In The Treetop & A Winged Beauty

This week I have been working on some smaller paintings......8" x 8" , 1 1/2" deep gallery canvases.

This little guy on the colorful and very happy background is "In The Treetop" which I think fits him just perfectly. I had a blast working on the background and loved the technique so much that I'm considering using it on a larger painting in the future.

"Winged Beauty" is of course another Monarch butterfly. I seem to be on a roll with these floating beauties lately, I'm really enjoying painting them.

For this background my goal was "earthy" and I think the colors and textures worked out just great for what I was tryiing to achieve. I would consider using this on a larger painting as well but I'm not sure yet, it was a tough background to achieve and even more so to paint on. Time will tell I suppose!

I hope you like the newest nature inspired paintings..........ENJOY!!!

"Menagerie" - Acrylic Bird/Tree-Scape....Finally!

Remember that really large painting I was working on, the one that I thought would get done and finished just like that (snap fingers together here)?? Well, finally my newest bird/tree-scape "Menagerie" is finished....sprayed, photographed and up on my website.

This painting is very large, I'm calling it HUGE actually at 24" x 36".

Funny how it works in the world of art, my "Stargazing" painting that I created just before this one, came together pretty effortlessly for me while this piece ended up being more work then I could have imagined when I started painting it. Sometimes I think it is better not to know how callenging something will be before you begin working on it and maybe after all, the harder the work, the greater the reward.

This painting reminds me of spring and summer (my happy times), the sky is very vibrant and little chickadees and bluebirds are hanging out together enjoying the sunny afternoon.

Hmm, started my next acrylic canvas and it is a multi-canvas painting, a much SMALLER painting for the time being, which I'm sure will feel like a break compared to this piece.
