This painting was done for Evelyn who digs owls. It is on 6x6 canvas board in acrylics.

Joan was headed to Brooklyn to visit our Grandchildren and so I painted some birds for them. This one is for Mathilde and is called "A Cardinal in Snow." It is painted on a 6 x 6 canvas board in Acrylics using the Bokeh effect for the snow. See more Cardinals at Fine Art America:  cardinals art  

I created the following works in Acrylic during my on-line "Paint 1: Short Form" class with Erin Schwinn and The Contemporary Austin.   A Red Landscape Asaro Man - A Study of Planes, Lighting and Shadows A Still Life of Interesting Vases Discus Man A Study of Trees These Nectarine Paintings were practicing minimum brush strokes. Upper left was done with 25 brush strokes, upper right with 20 strokes and so on with 15, 10 and finally only 5 brush strokes.  

 

 

And so it begins... I am now retired and want to create beautiful thing whether it be art or music or relationships. So, I am starting with this acrylic of a monarch butterfly. "Monarch on a Coneflower"
