Title: Looking Upward on the Untread Path

Medium: Acrylic Paints on Two Stretched Canvases

Size: 40" x 16" (Two 16" by 20" canvases)

Graceful branches extend their fingers across the canvases with nimble elegance. The scent of decaying leaves and green moss can almost be detected as the... light plays deftly among the arbors.

Imbued with vibrant purples, yellows and white, this stunning piece would look great in nearly any room. It's so serene and calming as the birds perch on the black bough..

New Painting! Resting in the Fireblossoms...

This was so much fun to do! Of course, I always enjoy capturing the organic shapes of stretching branches, but I particularly like the contrast of the orange and red on green. The little birdies look so peaceful, just sitting there...

Here's a pic without the frame:

Title: Among the Birches

Medium: Acrylic Paints on Two Stretched Canvases

Size: 40" x 16" (Two 16" by 20" canvases)
