Brother Sparrow

10 x 8″ oil paint on canvas panel

St. Francis, often a statue feature of many gardens, is remembered for his joy in all creatures of earth. To him, they were all his brothers and sisters. I used a painting knife to drag on the last layers of paint for a rough, stoney look.

(no title yet)

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

So far, I am at a loss for a title…any ideas?

5712

9 x 12″ oil paint on canvas panel special commission

I was asked to paint the home of my nephew and his wife. Though not quite finished, I sent this image for their approval. I still have to give the birch tree some foliage, and I am still refining the requested bunny.

Persimmons

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

Both color and story drew me to this image. No doubt I will still finish up with a few more adjustments.

Angel Guardian

8 x 8″ oil paint on canvas panel

This is a special commission for a new baby. It will be signed in lower left corner.
