Bird Artwork

 A Selection of Bird Themed Artwork


Loon - 2021

A loon spirit against a mix of firey reds. Graceful lines cross the loon's back and are decorated with the white dots that are visible on the Common Loon.

Acrylic 12 x 12" stretched canvas. Unframed but is wired on the back for easy hanging.

Gold Crane - 2006

A gold crane lifts off from the ground amidst a pine forest. I painted this based on a Sandhill Crane I saw when I was child out berry-picking. I got tired of picking blueberries under the relentless sun (maybe not the best decision considering there could have been black bears around) and wandered into the next clearing and startled a crane.

They flew up gracefully and effortlessly, calling out "Karoo, karoo" as he went.

The crane was long gone, but those berries were delicious with some milk and sugar, and I had a good memory.

Acrylic on 9 x 12" canvaspaper. Framed using archival materials.

Purple Martin - 2005

Tree Swallow - 2005

Tree Swallows nested in a nest box outside of our window. It's a fond memory watching those birds come and go during the early summer with insects to feed their young. Here, a swallow is captured in mid-flight. Silver dots his wings and tail feathers.

Acrylic on 9 x 12" canvaspaper. Framed in a reddish-brown wood frame to match Purple Martin. All materials used are archival.

Blue Swallow - 2008

Another style swallow similar to the first two, but this one has a more abstract background suggestive of the speed these amazing little birds fly with. I had some fun creating the background using a mix of metallic paint and wood stain.

Acrylic, metallic paint, and antique stain on 8 x 10" canvaspaper. Painting is framed using archival materials.

I also enjoy creating commissions for people who want something made specifically. I really love painting birds and will work with you to create a unique piece. The Woodlands or Ojibwe style is slightly abstract and I enjoy that freedom.

I also offer commissions and work with my customers to create a piece that fits the imagination. Send me an email as I enjoy the freedom of the Woodlands style.
