Acrylic And Canvas

My First Painting Done In Acrylic

In August, at cannon beach, Andrew, Mom, Ruth and I spent part of an afternoon painting in water colors. It was really fun. I wish that I had taken pictures. Along the way, I discovered that I can paint pretty decently. So, I decided to do a few things on canvas. Mom and Dad and I have spent several lovely afternoons and evening painting companionably. The painting of the trees isn't quite finished in this photo. I've added a few touches since, nothing terribly drastic. The painting is based off of a photograph that Dad took when he was pretty near the age I am now. The photo is hanging in the guest bedroom at Mom and Dad's. 

This little bird came from a Nature Conservancy calendar. I think he's a Piping Plover in New Jersey. If I remember the caption right.

  1. It has been fun painting together. I love the little bird and enjoy it living with me. Your tree painting is quite happy on my wall. I know it's just visiting. Beautiful.
