Purple Night with Ibis

I photographed these birds in Florida. The background was green foliage. I didn't want all green. I wanted unrealistic leaves and very realistic birds. My work has a realistic edge and an abstract soul. My colors are vibrant, but my subject matter can be anything that catches my eye. Recently, patterns have become a theme in my art. I have always worked from my photographs and prefer to paint in the studio. My art is color, pattern, nature, and details. My medium is anything water-based. When you look at my art, you get a glimpse of how I saw the world at that moment.
