"Grace Revealed"

Oil on Linen
"Much Joy to Behold"
8 x 10
Oil on Linen

These two love birds were commissioned for a collector's birthday present.  The female cardinal has a subtle beauty and is not as easy to spot.  Grace can be like that.  You have to pay attention, sometimes to notice it, but it's there.  The male cardinal is a flash of red and you really have to be asleep not to notice him.  His bright color brings me much joy.

"Bella"

Oil on Linen
Meet Bella.  She has such a regal aura about her, even when playing in the river, and is striking to behold.  This pet portrait was painted as a gift to a family friend.
