Hyacinth Macaw - Oil on 8 x 10 Canvas Panel
Commission Painting
Hyacinth Macaw – This is a commission painting for a repeat client who is currently experiencing winter weather in the upper Midwest, burrrrr. She had one of these as a pet about 30 years ago.
Trine, Thank you for your wonderful words once again. When other artists leave coments it's really helpful. It sometimes aids us painters to make necessary changes in style or subject matter, or both to improve what we are doing. Thanks again.
As a student in northern Minnesota I enjoyed being an artist. My uncle Charles: C. X. Carlson, a noted author, artist and muralist was a great influence me.
I sketched and painted everyday until age sixteen or so, then it seemed as though life took over. Since then I've lived in Kansas, Texas and presently in California. Now, 50+ years later and retired, I have returned to the more pleasurable pastimes of my youth.
This year, 2007, I started drawing, painting and playing music once again. It will be interesting to see where these endeavors guide me and how my skills in turn develop over time. Everything I offer here is an original. Some may be renditions of other works I find interesting, however originals just the same. If you see something you would like to purchase, email me or use either the purchase link or the "BUY NOW" button that is with the painting you like. You can use either PayPal or credit card and its secure. No Paypal account necessary. Any questions, just email me.
