Blue Heron in Flight

I had to paint another Blue Heron painting! I actually started this one with Great Blue - my last Blue Heron Painting. This one has a completely different feel from my last piece. I used a palette knife to create most of this painting. I want you to hear the Blue Heron's wings on a silent bay as the sun sets. The thick layers of paint help give the painting a texture that plays colors off of each other.

Modern Scandinavian Garden Red-Poles and Forsythia •SOLD

 Yellow, blue and Red-Poles where my inspiration for this piece. I was ready for a large scale Modern Scandinavian Garden painting and imagined exaggerated Forsythia branches. The Red-Poles have been visiting our feeder and made for cheerful little models. I asked our local florist if she could get Forsythia in and she was happy to look into it! This piece kept getting brighter and brighter and it just might be my favorite Modern Scandinavian Garden piece.

Peaceful Entrance - *SOLD

When the snow melts and the sweet scent of blossoms start to fill the air, the apple blossoms are the ones I really look forward to. They stay such a short time and add a feathery softness to the twisting branches. The more blossoms there are..the more I have to look forward to come fall. Like magic - the fresh little petals mark the places where the apples will appear.

Peaceful Entrance is a 16" x 20" acrylic painting on wood panel. I triple primed the panel to give it a smooth surface and then layered colors to give this piece an almost egg tempera effect. The palette is a calming sky blue and ivory with warms grays, silvery greens and a touch of yellow ocher.
