Birds, Butterflies & Flowers
Each has a bit of whimsy or mystery to it. All for the beholder to interpret as they “see.”
I love doing paintings that may have an allegorical bent to them. All are original works of art.
"Come Fly With Me." This is the story of a fella trying to romance a pretty bird he's been pursuing, to get her to fly away with him for some adventure. He says: "Come fly with me, let's fly away. If you can use some exotic booze, there's a bar in far Bombay. Come on...let's fly away"! 10" x 20" acrylic on canvas. $600.00
"I'm Just Flirting!" "Hey there!' (As she scopes out the local fellas.) She's a roseate spoonbill. A large social wading bird with a distinctive spoon-shaped bill and bright pink plumage. 24" x 30" acrylic on canvas. $2,160.00
"Birds on Vacation" Good friends decided on a luxury holiday to show off their new plumes! 10" x 20" acrylic on canvas. $600.00
"Peering Into the Secret Garden" When life is difficult or overwhelming, I like to center my art on something that will make me feel warm and comfortable, a way to escape for a brief time with a bit of whimsy and charm. Who wouldn't want a secret garden to visit and reflect in? A diptych mixed media on canvas. Each is 12 " x 16" x 1.5" painted sides.
