Michigan Farm and Sky Oil Painting




20" x 24" Gallery Wrapped Oil on Canvas:  "Rolling Fields"

This is a Michigan farm scene.  I've been impressed with the rolling fields some farmers work.  I'm more used to the flat plain states.  In this spot a distant barn peaks up over the hill in Western Michigan. Touches of blue on the autumn corn reflect the sky.

Grace Angel Statue Oil Painting

 

"Grace"

18" x 18" Oil on Stretched Canvas

Two Chickadees are landing on the lovely angel statue. Soft puffy clouds float by in the background. Notice the little finger of the statue is broken off. She has been welcoming birds for over a century. This is a statue I came across one summer in Maine. I thought she was beautiful and that one day I would paint her. When I started I didn't have a plan particularly. This one seemed to carry me along rather than the other way around. Some paintings are like that, they seem to paint themselves. Others...not so much.

This painting is available by clicking on the link below.

I painted it feeling nostalgic for my pink rose painting days.

Parakeet, Budgie, Greeting Oil Painting



"Hi" 10" x 10" oil on stretched canvas. 

Having finished dozens of close up bird oil paintings over the years I decided to try something a little different, so this parakeet is showing his friendly side (they're all pretty friendly) and waving "hello" or "hi" to you. The word "hello" is spelled out in different languages in the background while his foot is giving you universal sign of "hi".


This painting is available and if you click on the image you'll land on the selling page.
