Blue and Yellow Macaw

Oil Painting Bird Art Pet Portrait Parrot

Oil on canvas, 10" x 8".

I've painted birds outside my window and barnyard chickens and roosters many times and now I'm enjoying painting the beautiful birds that can be companions in the home.  This terrific and boldly colored bird is my latest work.

Glowing Rooster

Oil Painting Chicken Art Rooster Portrait Farm Animals French Country

Oil on stretched canvas with sides painted, 10" x 8".

I think the combination of colors of this particular rooster is very striking and attractive.  My finished painting has a look similar to stained-glass.  It has thick strokes of paint and it can be hung unframed if desired.

Orange and Peel

Oil Painting Still Life Fruit Art Food Kitchen

Oil on canvas, 8" x 10"

The orange is another favorite subject of mine.  The navel oranges have thick walls that are so fun to paint.  And especially in light and shadow!

Hereford Face

Oil Painting Cow Art Farm Animal Portraits Steer

Oil on stretched canvas, 9" x 12"

Hereford cattle have interesting faces I think.  I'm a cow enthusiast and I'm biased.  But who couldn't admit that they are nice to look at and admire?  This curly-topped Hereford cow is resting her chin on a fence and enjoying the view.

Flashy Sunflowers

Oil Painting Flower Art Floral Still Life

Oil on canvas, 9" x 12".

These joyful sunflowers seemed to have lives of their own in paint.  I like it when flowers can communicate with me.  Or maybe it's when I am able to hear them.

Apple Line-up

Oil Painting Still Life Fruit Art Apple Kitchen

Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 16"

The apples seem to take on their own unique characters when posed this way and viewed from slightly below.  They can be looked at as actors on a stage or groups involved in conversations if I use my imagination.  I had initially planned to keep the work looser and casual, but paintings sometimes seem to take on their own energy and purpose as many artists have found.  I am satisfied with the apples' finished "characters" in this piece.  That's always a good feeling.

Corn Field Road

Oil Painting Landscape Country Sky Clouds

Oil on stretched canvas, 16" x 20".

A country road surrounded by tall cornfields can be very charming and this one even has a residence in view around a bend.  I also like the mountains in the distance and would like to call this "home".

Basset Beauty

Oil Painting Dog Pet Portrait Art Hound

Oil on stretched canvas, 10" x 8".

I don't know what I like most about these hound dogs.  Maybe it's their ears, or it might be their soulful eyes.  The sides of the canvas will be painted making framing optional.

Timid Donkey

Oil Painting Farm Animal Art Pet Portrait Stuffed Toy Eeyore

Oil on canvas, 10" x 8".

It was time for another stuffed  animal painting when my daughter presented me with this cute, unassuming donkey character.  He likes to rest against a wall and look at the world.  I can't let my dogs see the toy closely or they will try to get him and he won't be whole any longer.
