Hummingbird's Summer View *SOLD



We have branches, surrounding our view of the lake, that the hummingbirds love. They sit and enjoy their view and then drink from the flowers or the feeders and go back to their perches. I wonder if they know how happy they make me - just being here. I'm pretty sure we have the same hummingbirds every year. They have their routines and so do we and we enjoy each others company ...and ...many times...they have inspired paintings.

Hummingbird's Summer View - is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. arches paper. It is professionally framed with conservation glass to a final size of 13.5"x8.5". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729

Fresh Start •SOLD



 I confess, I began this painting with the intent of painting peaceful moving leaves on branches. I was happy with the sketch of the leaves and then remembered a sweet American Redstart that I had photographed earlier this year and thought, this environment would be perfect for him. And so, it was, the American Redstart became the star. I think the leaves are ok with this.

 Fun plants, growing around me, keep distracting me. They tell me they want to be painted and I can't resist. The Tall Bells seem to be everywhere this year - adding a splash of purple and blue to their green environment.

Jay • SOLD


My son's favorite bird is the Bluejay. I get excitement out of him when he sees me sketching them. . .so of course I have painted several Bluejays. They are present in our area - year round - which is a bonus for added models.

This is a small 6" square brushed acrylic ink painting on Aquabord. I forgot to take a final framed photo. The final size was 7" square. This piece is sold
