I have been doing several paintings with these flocks of birds with various backgrounds. I am inspired by the beauty of flight and the flurry of birds when flocked together.

I had a lot of fun painting this one. It flowed rather easily, I found it to came together naturally. I have come to really enjoy painting these abstracts inspired by nature. They are a challenge and expand my thinking because there no pre-planning going into them. They are more of an intuitive kind of painting; balancing composition, color, and form as the painting evolves.

Happy Holidays. This painting was inspired from last years winter snow storms. My neighbor's apple tree still had apples and a thick layer of ice and snow covered the branches. The apples were frozen and icy, they looked like the crystal covered apples at Christmas time, they were absolutely beautiful. A real winter wonderland.
