Post 20: Freshwater Aquarium 10 x 20 Acrylic on Canvas

Painting Name: Freshwater Aquarium

SKU: #10T20AC
Medium: Acrylic Painting
Size: 10 x 20 Stretched Canvas
Edition Year: 2020
    (fish food not included)
This original artwork is a painting of a fresh water fish aquarium. It includes various fish the could be found in a fish tank, but no feeding is required.

Growing up, we had a freshwater aquarium going for many years and enjoyed watching our finned friends going through their busy, watery days. Not to mention the cycle of life...the stories we remember - from guppy babies, and "where did the Red-Tailed Shark go?"*, to "oooops!", the Angelfish ate one of our brand new Neon Tetras we -just- introduced to the aquarium.

So in honor of Neon Tetras everywhere, if you can't have the real aquarium, here is a maintenance-free aquarium. 



There IS a story on "Where did the Red-Tailed Shark go?" I am hoping to get my brother to explain it...will update if I can get him to do it.

Post 19: A Good Day to Set Sail 11 x 14 Acrylic on Oval Canvas

Painting Name: A Good Day to Set Sail 

SKU: #10P20AC
Medium: Acrylic Painting
Size: 11 x 14 Oval Stretched Canvas
Edition Year: 2020
Vivid blue sky and a tropical locale are what inspired this sailboat painting.


Picture this: comfortable temperatures; a warm, fresh ocean breeze; blue and green water and a big blue sky. What could be better? A sail boat to float in to enjoy the day and forget about the China Virus Blues for some ocean blues.

Same picture while on easel...

Post 18: The Owl Takeoff, 10 x 20 Acrylic on Canvas

Painting Name: The Owl Takeoff 

SKU: #10S20AC
Medium: Acrylic Painting
Size: 10 x 20 Stretched Canvas
Price: No Longer Available
Edition Year: 2020
An Owl painting, more specifically a Great Horned Owl just taking off from his perch. Vibrant colors pop out at you - if animal paintings, bird artwork appeals to you, this hoot owl would look great in a living room, foyer, dorm, library or office.

Who? The Owl? Who? The one that just took off? Who? This one...


"Bir... Bir-dah. Bird, bird, bird." Ok that's a line from a movie. Know which one?

The wise old owl, the slowly blinking eyes, imagine this guy getting a bead on your position and coming in to get you. Unlucky if you are a mouse or other small varmint. 

By the way, the line is from "Bambi" when Thumper is trying to teach Bambi to say "Bird".
Nothing to do with Owls but I thought of it while painting The Owl Takeoff.

Painting Name: Corn Row Field

Price: $135.00 + shipping

A mountain painting, a corn field on canvas, this pathway through the artwork gives me the thought, "if you build it, they will come..."

Name that movie.

A path through the field of corn rows is a 12 x 24 canvas done with acrylic paints.

Doesn't it make you wonder where Kevin Costner is?

Post 15: America Backs the Blue 10 x 10 Acrylic on Canvas

Painting Name: America Backs the Blue

Post #15

SKU: #10O20AC
Medium: Acrylic Painting
Size: 10 x 10 Stretched Canvas
Price: $99.00 + shipping
Framed?: Yes, with a simple white floating frame
Edition Year: 2020
Patriotic Artwork is the theme here, an America flag with a Thin Blue Line flag over draped in this more abstract painting.

A change of pace for me - America Backs the Blue, or an American Flag behind the Thin Blue Line Flag for police officers everywhere. 

Patriotic, can you say, oh heck YEAH!!


I finally got my signature down. How many years did that take?

Post 14: Mountain Path aka Crawling Up a Rock 12 x 24

Painting Name: Mountain Path 

AKA - Also known as: Crawling Up a Rock 

Update January, 2, 2022: Mountain Path is now on display at Clearbrook Center of the Arts in Lake Ridge, Virginia

SKU: #10M20AC
Medium: Acrylic Painting
Size: 12 x 24 Stretched Canvas
Price: $295.00 + shipping
Edition Year: 2020
Framed in a black floating frame

A rocky mountain painting of a path going up and around the side. Very detailed artwork of the rock face with trees, shrubs and mountain in the background.

 I was thinking about Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken" when I was deciding what to paint next. On this painting, you do not see the "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood" which I do hope to paint at some point, but I did like the interesting colors of the 'red dirt' path which you do find in good ole' Virginia quite often. Granted, this path looks a lot easier to meander than actually crawling over and through the rocks themselves, but it's more the wondering of, what's around that corner?
