Blue Heron on the Hunt

Blue Heron on the Hunt is a 24 by 12 inch original acrylic painting on a gallery wrap canvas.  The painting is of a Blue Heron at Matagorda, Texas on the inland waterway feeding in the shallows.  These birds are very interesting to watch and are hard to get a good picture of them.  A textured rocky shore line is in the painting using a pallet knife to give the painting a realistic effect.  The vertical canvas was perfect for this work and ready to hang out of the box.  This is a real fine art painting to add color and nature to the home or office.  I am very pleased with the outcome and hope you enjoy it also.  The original has sold, but you can purchase prints from our website: bartlettpairart.com

Rockport Sunrise Oil Painting

Rockport Sunrise, 30 by 40 inches, Gallery Wrap Canvas

Rockport, Texas is an awesome place for painters.  The beautiful water is filled with wildlife, boats, docks, and sea birds.  I was inspired to do the painting of this marvelous sunrise while we were staying at the Beacon RV Resort.  (Carolyn and I were doing a show at the SeaFair Festival)  The RV Park is right on the bay front drive overlooking the bay and their pier and shrimp boat.  (Great RV Park!)

Rockport Sunrise is my largest painting to date and I plan to do more.  When we are staying near the coast, I try to get up before sunrise and take pictures.  Sunrise/sunsets are fascinating!  The light is changing rapidly and is a rare opportunity to capture a "one and only" moment in time.  That particular morning, the wind was up and showers forecasted; hence, the palette for beautiful colors projected on the clouds and water.  I tried to paint the scene the way I experienced it that morning using photos for reference.  No camera or painter can ever capture the perfection of the sunrises God gives everyday; and, I thank my Lord for giving me the ability to try and paint it.

God Bless You,

Little Beach Bird, Original Oil Painting

I finished the second painting of the bird on the beach.  I like to paint groupings of related subjects and plan to add more to the sea bird list.  Sounds like an excuse to go to the beach and marshes for pics and inspiration.  Hope you like the painting.


God Bless You,
