study for large commission


This painting is a study for a very large commission. I will offer it on eBay this weekend. I have the beginnings of pneumonia and have been talking it easy, considering a busy artist's schedule but will be back up and running soon.

Though I have sold still lifes and music paintings in galleries, for the last several years I have devoted my larger works to palm and tropical scenes. Commissions of special memories are fun to do. This painting commission is a wedding memory for a very special family!

Feel free to email me
if you are interested in purchasing this painting for $100.

Birds of Paradise are a South African plant and are among my favorite subjects to paint. Each flower is so full of personality and it's easy to see why they would be likened to birds. This bird of paradise is hiding behind a leaf as if it's just carefully taking a peek around.
