New Style...

 Most birds are quite graphic...I wanted to portray geese and crows in a "stained glass style" with each section of color separated by a border of the white canvas below...they were fun and may lead to more glass ideas!




"Dueling Crows" - 18x24 acrylic on canvas






"Hidden Geese" 16x20 acrylic on canvas

More 6x6's...Birds!




I have decided that I really like the 6x6 format...and birds!  Take a look...these are all acrylic on self-edged canvas...


New 6x6 sizes...

At the first of January, I wanted to try painting a different size...so, for now, I'm going smaller, to a 6" x 6" wraparound canvas...I find these paintings lots of fun to do...they feel like "excerpts" of my larger paintings...but, I can accomplish them much more quickly and I end each day feeling as though I've really accomplished something...I also found that the paintings can just as easily sit on a bookcase of table as be hung on a wall...here are a few of them, so far...and while the pics don't show it, each painting extends around the wrapped edge...no frame needed!
