Bohemian Rhapsody
48×24
oil/board
$6500

Every autumn the Bohemian Waxwings migrate through our mountain valley. They move in large flocks and frequent the fruit trees. At times they even become drunken by the fermented berries that still hang from the trees. I enjoy watching these flighty, exotic looking birds as they flock to my cherry trees each year.

I was inspired by the iridescent blues of the Blue Jay and same beautiful colors repeated in the Chinese vase. Blues have a calming effect on people and are easy to look at and live with.

The colorful plummage of this parrot inspired me. To me they are colorful like a rainbow. The pose also reminded me of the bend of a rainbow, hence the name!

Butterflies are mystical and symbolic creatures. I love the way they float softly on the breeze and are able to stay ’just out of reach’. These butterflies are freely lifting from the confines of the box and into the blue.

Orchid’s Glow is a graceful but minimalistic painting. The rich brownish purples of the antique Satsuma vase harmonize with the warm yellows of the background and little Golden Crowned Kinglet.

AVAILABLE at Kneeland Gallery

This rustic still life painting was painted during the time of the 2010 Superbowl when the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts. “Who Dat?” was popularized by the Saints as a chant of team support by the fans. My friend, a big football fan, was visisting my studio and named this painting for me!

The Rainbow’s End
30×24
oil/board
SOLD

Exotic birds are exciting to paint. I am challenged by their irredesent plummage and bright colors. The parrot’s coloration matches this antique Chinese vase perfectly. This is a very eye pleasing painting due to the careful use of complimentary and secondary colors. The parrot seems to have found his own little ’pot of gold’ at the end of the rainbow, hence the name!
