Took a bit of a break with this series of 4 paintings. Maybe you need to really know your pop culture but can you name everything? There are anywhere from 16- 19 things per canvas. I had fun with these. Sure, you could have a red dress or a yellow dress or a blue dress (oh yeah Monica's dress, could have added that one...) but I was striving for more of a "this THING is THIS color vibe. Anyway, have fun trying to name them all.

Hibiscus 11 x 14 Oval Acrylic on Canvas - Flowers may appear easy to paint - maybe for some people they are. To me, they aren't - at least so far. I painted this one over a couple times and still am not "satisfied" as yet. An obstacle to overcome so I will try more flowers in the near future. Some flowers are so delicately beautiful it is hard to capture the detail. Wish me luck!

Post 20: Freshwater Aquarium 10 x 20 Acrylic on Canvas

SKU: #10T20AC

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.

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.
