Spring Morning

Spring Morning was inspired by several things one of which is the view that I see from my kitchen window in the spring. 

My husband likes to call this my portrait landscape. 

I did some playing while creating this particular painting; I did a large part of the bottom third using a palette knife and I used some Coarse Molding Paste in the paint to give it some texture.

Red-winged Blackbird

Red-winged Blackbird was inspired while on a bike ride last year spring. It took me a year to complete but I am happy with the results.

Red-winged Blackbird painted on two canvas panels. One is 18"X36" and the other is 6" X 36". I believe this is called a diptych. 

Grand-daughter

I recently did this painting of my grand daughter for her first birthday. It was a huge learning experience since I haven't ever completed any portraits in Acrylic before.
