Returning Thanks, wildlife art, blue heron

"RETURNING THANKS"

I did around ten of these runny and drippy paintings.  They are done with acrylics on canvas, at a standing easel, so all the paint runs down.  It's a messy and fast application of layers of paint. Then I add the details over that once it is dry, so the contrast of warm and cool colors is played up against the contrasting thin against thick paint.  It has to be sealed with a few coats of clear sealer because the integrity of the paint has been jeopardized.  

Just made this older painting available in prints and cards. You can order what ever size you want.

A Country Mile, landscape with barn and pond


"A Country Mile"
This is a take off from my last post.  It is larger and I made some significant changes. I wanted to add more depth, so I used the path and the barn to create a focal point.

Spring Time, Irises


"Spring Time"

Just touched up this little demo from last spring.  I did a similar painting based on this one, but it is larger.  I added a barn and a path to it and used slightly different colors.  I will post it in a day or so.

This one is not available, but I will try to make it available in prints soon.  I can do something similar for you also.  I price custom paintings by size, change colors or mix and match ideas, and I can work from your images or mine.

Tootsie, horse portrait, equine art


"Tootsie"

This is a portrait of a filly I did for a friend of mine.  Tootsie was a yearling for this pose.  I added a better background and really enjoyed creating the details of fur and hair.  Love her expressive eyes too.

Dolphin Daze, seascape, beach sunrise


"Dolphin Daze"

Just finished this larger composition last week. Have worked on it for over a month. Loved creating all the colors. I especially enjoyed adding the pileus clouds. I have seen them before with rainbow colors looking almost like rings of Saturn, so I added them here for a fantasy effect. I also hid dolphins in the clouds. It is hard to make some of them out on this small screen, but in the prints (and in the original) they show up nicely. 

Enjoy!

Past the Boardwalk, stormy beach scene


"Past the Boardwalk"

Went back and made some corrections to this older painting. The sand had too much texture and too many footprints, which was more realistic, but less pleasing to the eye.  I simplified it and brought the weeds growing down into the path.  I also worked on the clouds.

Day's End, sunset seascape on a rocky shore


"Day's End"

From a painting demonstration. The colors turned out better than I had hoped. (Teaching a lesson often leaves my work in  need of many corrections by the time I am finished helping everyone else.)

Sun Down, sunset seascape


"Sun Down"

Created this painting alla prima, or all in one session.  It was done from memory with a palette knife a few years ago.  This one has an abstract feel to it.  Wanted to capture the fleeting moments of the end of the day and the movement in the sky and water.  It really poured out of me. I love it when it flows like that.

ENJOY!

Inlet Park, plein air painting, Florida seascape


"Inlet Park"

Did this a few years ago with my plein air group out in Fort Pierce. It was far more challenging than I imagined to capture the windy day and the changing colors of sky and water.  I love the end result, however, and think I captured the effect I was after.

"Green Pastures 2"

This is from the Adams Ranch. It is a huge cattle ranch, with hundreds of acres, natural springs, tons of wildlife, and of course horses and cattle. I created it from the photos I took while I was out plein air painting (out on location).
