Beginnings

Acrylic on stretched canvas - 12x16 inches, contact me if interested

This is more an imaginative painting where I explored drips and splatters in the background.  The bird nest had fallen from under my deck with blue eggs scattered around, there were at least 6 to 8 eggs laying in front of the nest.  No wonder the nest fell, the birds were definitely over achievers!  I felt bad for the robins but it was a great photo opportunity for me.  After dripping and playing with the background I notice a bird shape appear in the upper righthand corner and added some soft detail to enhance it.  Mom or Dad robin will always be watching over their nest.

Painted on location, this is a typical Minnesota summer scene, you know land of 10,000 lakes and who knows how many rivers.  It's all about the water here in the summer so I loved the pontoon sitting at the dock waiting for a fun cruise.  It was an overcast day but the reflections in the water were great.
