The Birds


This is a collection of the bird paintings I have done in the last two and a half years.

They are mostly 10" x 12" on canvas, with a few in odd sizes ranging from 10" x 24" up to 3' x 3'.

I am still unsure of my style interpretation. Some of the paintings are very illustrative. Some are decorative. I find myself getting caught up in the detail, a leftover influence of all the famous bird painters I have admired.

The paintings I like the best are the ones that are a mix of both, or have a light touch, a very impressionistic feel, with the odd detail to add life to the bird.

I continue to experiment and will update with tose attempts.
