Take to the Sky *SOLD

Take to the Sky has been something I have been wanting to paint for months. The extremely cold winter in Minnesota this year has my mind dancing with visions of flying on warm air currents. The bright primary colors contrast the scene out my window the last few months. The snow is gone and it's time for color to burst in. It's time to get outside and shed the layers. It's time to be outside and play. Take to the Sky is a welcome to leaves on the trees, birds in the sky, sun shining down and warm breezes on our skin....or feathers.

Take to the Sky is a large 40" x 30" acrylic painting on stretched canvas with painted edges. It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. for $700.00 | 218-547-3729

Fly About - original graphite drawing *SOLD

My favorite bird variety changes from time to time but lately the woodpecker and it's fly - fly - glide style really speaks to me. This graphite drawing represents 3 Woodpeckers in flight. I tried to give the drawing a fluid feel as if all three birds are one. The piece is as much about the motion of the lines of the drawing as it is about the swoop of the Woodpecker's flight style.

Fly About is a 16" x 20" framed and matted graphite drawing on 140 lb. watercolor paper. Available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. $98.00 | 218-547-3729

Mind the Sun *sold

This piece went very quickly and was driven by an image I had of free flying birds in bright colors. The birds are not any type specifically but I was imagining the sailing swoop of the woodpecker. This piece is about color and vibrant life. I was combing abstract lines with a folkish loose style to add to the lightness of the piece. 

"Mind the Sun" is a large 36" x 36" acrylic painting on stretched canvas.
