Little Blue, wildlife art, heron

"Little Blue"

6 x 12 inches

acrylic on gallery wrap canvas

(sides are painted)

Took pictures of this little blue heron in some very shallow water, changed the back ground some so I could make him stand out more. In the photos he was blending into the marsh grasses, so I used lily pads instead.

I like the thick paint, and tried to keep the painting very fresh and loose.

Thanks for looking!

I had a lovely morning. The birds were singing and the rays of sun were peeking through the trees. This is part of my husband's garden, the tomatoes and peppers are just off to the left. I added the little blue jay to convey the feeling of the singing birds.

Enjoy!

Day's End, Ocean Sunset

He Loves Me, Palette knife roses

"He Loves Me"

(John 3:16)

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Not Available

This painting started out as a study of complementary colors, mostly shades of red and green. I had more orange and blue in it also. It quickly became something that resembled roses and so I played that idea up with the shadows. I love the lively knife work, you can sense the energy and fast movement I used as I applied the thick layers of paint!

Enjoy

Rising Water, plien air painting

"Rising Water"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on canvas board

(canvas mounted on hardboard)

Ready to frame

This is a painting I did on location last July. I have reworked it a little because it had always bothered me. I have toned it down some and added an egret and an alligator. The alligators are often hard to see, so I hid him at the lower right. (Click on the image for zoom.)

This painting is at Lake Okeechobee. Our lake is up to an average of ten feet now. Still very low. almost two years now it has been so low.

There is a teenage boy that was attacked by an alligator here at Nubbin's Slough last month. Why he was in the water swimming at night in this area is beyond me. You can see large alligators that live here at any given time. They wait by the lock where the water flows into the lake and feed on anything that comes through.

Kid's Art Camp Continued

Marie and Haley

After creating decorative boxes and wooden signs last week, we did a painting on hardboard. Students primed and sanded their own boards and we worked together to create this lovely landscape. You can see how different they all turned out. I encourage individuality, and show them many options as they paint.
