Dog Portrait. Final Stage

"flight" 24X48 acrylic on canvas

Today, I laughed with a friend's pet bird.  At first, when he perched on my shoulder I  would laugh nervously because he bites just a bit and he was close to my face, but every time I would laugh he would laugh.  It was such a great experience.  I came home and this almost flew out of me (pun intended).  "flight"

The New River Gorge Bridge

I had so much fun painting this.  This is the New River Gorge Bridge in Fayetteville, WV, my hometown.  It is within walking distance from the house I grew up in.  It used to be the world's longest steel arch bridge, but now I think it is only the longest in the western hemisphere.  The painting is impressionist and I purposefully left some of the drawing lines exposed.  Acrylic on 30x40 canvas.
