I debated for a long time about keeping these leav I debated for a long time about keeping these leaves a neutral white instead of painting them an expected “green” 🍃 color. I feel confident now that I made the best decision for this piece. Sometimes it takes a while to make these sorts of decisions. Right??? This Pygmy falcon keeps company with other birds of prey in this piece such as hawks and eagles 🦅. Do face similar creative decisions?? #chinoiserie #pygmyfalcon #falconart #sportingart #birdartist #gardenandgun #birdsofprey #birdpainting #birdpaintings #birdartwork #birdillustration

The making of “Chinoiserie Chic”. Commissionin The making of “Chinoiserie Chic”. Commissioning an art piece means getting all your favorite things into one work of art!! This couple selected magpies, flycatchers, peonies and cherry blossoms 🌸, all of which had symbolic meanings to them personally. #chinoiserie #chinoiseriechic #chinoiseriechicstyle #chinoiseriewallpaper #chinoiseriechicstyle #chinoiserieart #acrylicpainting
I had the opportunity to view some beautiful gigan I had the opportunity to view some beautiful gigantic James Audubon prints over the weekend. SO inspiring to see up close and in person. One of my favorite details was the claw of an eagle! I can’t stop thinking about it. I may have to go back and buy him!! This fella is a section of a triptych called “More Than Birds” which I completed this spring. #chinoiserie #coastalhome #coastalliving #coastalstyle #coastalinteriors #coastalart #coastalhomes

Here in Delaware we see these amazing hawks flying Here in Delaware we see these amazing hawks flying in the sky. They are fascinating to watch! I no longer allow our cats outdoors. This is a painting detail of a Cooper’s Hawk. He is one of 3 characters in my latest painting which I haven’t even titled yet!! I just couldn’t wait to share it with you! He was very enjoyable to study, draw ✍🏼 and paint 🎨. #birdpainting #birdpaintings #birdartwork #birdillustration #birdpainter #birdartist #birdsofprey #coopershawk

What inspires you? I was SO inspired by a lovely a What inspires you? I was SO inspired by a lovely antique embroidery piece I discovered. I had to create this painting from it. The floral pattern was a work of art in itself but….. of course I had to add an African Grey Parrot 🦜 in the foreground!!! It’s not always easy to create the perfect juxtaposition but sometimes you just get lucky 🍀!! #africangreyparrot #parrotart #parrotsofinstagram #parrott #parrotart

It's a busy time in the garden isn't it?! Finally It's a busy time in the garden isn't it?! Finally it's warm enough to safely plant almost anything and the mornings are perfect for getting in some hours in the garden. For me it's been hard to balance painting time with gardening! 🌿⁠
⁠
Here's a pretty little tendril detail from one of my paintings. I just love incorporating a vine of some kind in just about every piece I do. I feel like they weave the elements together and lead the eye through the piece! 🌸⁠
⁠
Let me me know if you want me to DM you a photo of the whole piece! Also let me know what progress you are making in the garden! This weekend I started outlining a new gigantic flower bed! 👩🏼‍🌾⁠

Did you know that this week is teacher appreciatio Did you know that this week is teacher appreciation week?!! I feel so fortunate to have had a few great art teachers early on in middle school. They gave me the confidence, skills and motivation that carried forward into adulthood!🍎⁠
⁠
Be sure to thank a teacher this week. One you've had in the past that inspired you, one that your child might have right now or even a neighbor who happens to teach! They deserve our appreciation, that's for sure!!! Honestly I don't know how they do it but I am grateful they DO!!! ✏️⁠
⁠
Behind me in this photo is a pair of paintings with hawks, falcons and eagles! Almost done! 🦅⁠

Isn't it wonderful to hear all the spring birds ou Isn't it wonderful to hear all the spring birds outside lately? They all have such beautiful unique sounds. I always wonder what they are chatting about.... in my studio this afternoon with the windows open listening while I paint! 🪟🎨⁠
⁠
I paint a lot of feathers! This is a little detail from a recent piece I completed...feathers of a sandhill crane. I wonder what they sound like?! ⁠

What do you think about rain?....We have rain here What do you think about rain?....We have rain here all weekend here in Delaware. After 25 years of living in ☀️California I have to say I am very much enjoying the thunder, the lightening and the beautiful heavy downpours. ⛈️⁠
⁠
I especially enjoy painting in the studio on a rainy day. Measuring time by cups of tea. ☕️What do you do indoors when it's raining? ⁠
⁠
The painting I am sharing today is a small section of a triptych that was commissioned by a wonderful couple nearby in PA. I'll try to put the 3 together for you to also see. They wanted colorful pheasants which I am currently (if you haven't noticed) VERY much into these days! ⁠
⁠
Stay dry everyone! 🫖⁠

Which of these four fancy pheasants is YOUR favori Which of these four fancy pheasants is YOUR favorite? These pheasants were a fun grouping to paint🎨! All painted with acrylic on canvas. Each one is 18" X 24". The originals are available! Should I offer prints too?! What do you think? ⁠
