Soaring Home

 A friend posted the most beautiful sunset and gave me permission to use it in a painting. I changed the large electrical line running through it into the beautiful bald eagles one frequently sees soar above Whidbey Island.
One evening we actually had 8 circling over out home.

I had such a good time working on the triptych I decided to try a diptych.  
I choose an image from last summer's garden and divided it on two 14 x 11 canvases.
Think I'm ready for spring.

Eastern Sunrise


Eastern Sunrise
Triptych 
Acrylic on 3  24 x 12 canvases


A painting inspired by an oriental chrysanthemum found in a friends garden. 
The filmy pastel coloring of this painting imitates things seen in the early morning light before the sun has risen and the colors become more vibrant.   

I would like to see this hung with about an inch of space between each panel. 
The design continues around the edges.

Snowy sky

Had just a good time playing with a Golden acrylic product GAC. 
The piece started with a collaged background which I dusted over with snow.  I sealed this with a thick layer of GAC and then added the snowflakes and repeated the GAC to make sure they were firmly adhered. 

Inspiration for this piece came from a memory of looking up  at the sky during  a snow blizzard.  I'm not sure if it is from my childhood or from one of the Nor'easters we survived in the New England area.

 It's been a while but so glad to finish, "Ferry Lights"  an acrylic painting on 16 x 20 canvas.
