Moonlight Sonata

Friday has become a day for posting new work.  As my painting technique evolves, I find myself spending more and more time on each piece I do.  I have been very fixed on surface texture and getting it just right.  I am very pleased with this new painting. I found a photograph which showed what Beethoven's room  might have looked like.  The piano is actually accurate but of course his room didn't have quite as much going on as this one.   I have combined all the elements I love.  Music, interiors, birds, interesting colors and patterns  that have movement.  This painting is 11x14.  The sides have been painted so no frame is needed but should have one!

Eternal Balance

 This new painting almost got away from me half way into it. Too many critics inside my head. I decided to stick with it and I am so glad I did. My best paintings seem to take that journey! Anyway, I could look at books of old illustrations of coral and other sea vegetation all day. I also enjoy painting them. This newest piece is 11x14 painted on stretched canvas. The sides have been painted so no frame is needed.
