Two Black and White Abstract Fine Art Prints

Hello from Virginia! I hope where ever you live you are having a great time today.  Here in Virginia we are having great weather, the temperature dipped to 63 degrees last night, very unusual for August.

an  I love to paint abstract objects and when my client ask me to paint a black and white abstract to hang over their couch I was delighted to do so. These two abstracts were each 23.00 X 28.50 inches and were stunning hanging over the black leather couch. These are prints from the original paintings. They can be ordered in a gallery wrapped canvas print or can be framed and can be ordered in different sizes. I recently saw a bedroom with a black and white bedspread and other white furnishing, the prints would look gorgeous over the bed.

 I hope you like my art work. Please have a good day! 

 You can view and purchase my fine art prints here:

Apple Tree Abstract Fine Art Print

Hello from Virginia! I hope where ever you live you are having a great time...We are having beautiful pleasant weather here in Virginia today...

 Abstract painting are always fun to paint. We can just let our minds wander around and start pulling paint around until some object starts to form. In this painting some of the lines started looking like tree limbs so as my brush moved around over the canvas a tree started to form, so I added a few red  apples.

 I hope you like my art work. You can view and purchase my fine art prints here:

Prince Peacock Bird Fine Art Print

Hello from Virginia! I hope where ever you live you are having a great time today.  Still very hot temperatures today.

 Several years ago I lived in Winter Park Florida, and as I drove into town I would pass this Peacock ranch where these beautiful Peacock birds proudly display their gorgeous tails.  I often thought about how I could paint the beautiful designs in their tails and accomplish all of these amazing colors. Well one day I decided that I could probably at least make an impression of a Peacock. So this is how I painted my Prince Peacock bird.  I hope you like my art work.

Circle of Life Fine Art Print

Hello from Virginia! I hope where ever you live you are having a great time today.  WOW! What a drastic change in the temperature 98 degrees today.

When I painted this abstract of Circle of Life I was not sure of what I wanted to paint so I just put down some different colors on my pallet. Then I pulled my brush strokes through the paint and bits of red/orange, some yellow and some pretty grays appeared and the strokes resembled leaves so I added some little white birds in the center just to peek some interest.

 I hope you like my art work. Please have a good day!
