Paying It Forward

The Lord has blessed me in my life, with the ability to provide for, not only my three children, but myself, a home that has all that we need. Not anything fancy, mind you, but decent. Alot of things that in the day to day, you take for granted. I hope to be able to pay a little bit of my blessing forward with this next painting I am beginning tonight. There will be more to come about this a little later.......

Hello again, my Friends,

I've never been to the beach, so I was excited when I was asked to do this commission. This was a Gorgeous photo. I loved the colors in the sky in the photo and wanted to make sure that the evening time of day, came across in my interpretation. I wanted to recreate the wispy grasses bending in the breezes. I'm happy with how it turned out. This is 16X20 oil on stretched canvas.

Peacock

Hello again my friends,

I haven't posted anything in a while. I've let "life" get in the way, I suppose. This is one of my  paintings. This Peacock is done in acrylic on stretched canvas, which I enjoy working with on occasion. I was drawn to this by the challenge of the feathers in the background. I wanted to see if I could actually give the impression of all those intricate feathers. I'm so pleased with how it turned out. I love how the lime green and turquoise colors blend on this bird. He's a magnificent looking fellow, don't you think? He is available for $50 with FREE SHIPPING within the United States.
