American Summer

I've been working on this for a long time. I've completely started over several times. We've recently had several very moveing ceremonies at the military base where I work and the magnificent flag blowing in the breeze was the final inspiration to finish this off.
American Summer is an original oil painting 12 X 16 canvas.

Gone Fishing

Here is a Blue Heron pen and ink design with oil rouging. This is a Gisele Grenier (Art by Nature) design. I added in the cattails because I see alot of them around here in the places where a Blue Heron would be at home. These are pretty magnificent birds, don't you think?
This piece was done on a 11 X 14 plexiglass. Some of the background is actually on a masonite board.

New Day Gold Finch

I finally got this Gold Finch done. This is a small canvas 8 X 10. I painted our feathered friend in oils. This frame, I picked up at a yard sale for 50 cents and it was just made for this painting.
Insruction for this painting was done by Gisele Genier, Art By Nature.
