My little hymn painting based on the Doxology is now bigger and bolder. This is a 20'x20' Acrylic enlargement on gallery wrapped canvas. Nothing like adding a bit of forte to your work.
While recently painting a Cardinal (see previous post), I also revisited a painting from two years ago titled "The Wishing Bird." See the link below to learn the origin of that name.
You can also compare my technique and development between then and now.
Cardinals are plentyful all year in Middle Tennessee. Commissioned by a lover of these boldly feathered friends, here's a little Cardinal sitting on a branch.
THIS painting, I'm particularly proud of. It is a 24"x30" palette knife painting of wintery reflections on the surface of the Harpeth River. It is for the The Chestnut Group'sCumberland on Canvas event. I have painted water reflections before, but this is largest surface I have ever attempted. I'm very pleased with the result. I love how it is recognizable yet abstract, which was my goal for this piece. It shows well in the modern urban exhibit space of the Bridge Building. If you are in Nashville this weekend, I highly recommend that you stop by and take a look.
Here is another painting with the The Chestnut Groupfor the Cumberland on Canvas event.A portion of the show's proceeds benefit the Cumberland River Compact. Event Details below. This is a reflecting pond from Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum. Here is a field shot on location.
