"Winter Hills"-16"x30"-Acrylic on Canvas

I'm excited to start a whole new year of painting. This will be my second year of painting and it's fun for me to look back on my paintings from a year ago and see what I've changed in my style and how I've grown as an artist. Hope everyone has a good New Years Eve and happy painting!

Thanks

 I'd like to thank everyone that purchased paintings and t-shirts yesterday at the Antioch winterfest craft fair. I had a lot of fun and felt good about my first public display of artwork.

"OrangeJay"-8"x10"-Acrylic on canvas

I think this will be the last bird painting I do for a while at least. Need to cover some new ground.
Happy Painting...

"The Cardinal" 12"x30" Acrylic on canvas

This picture doesn't do the real painting much justice but my aunt wanted to see how it was coming. I'll end up taking another pic of this when it's light outside.

"The Three Red Trees" 12x36" Acrylic on canvas

If you haven't heard of Tim Gagnon and his online painting lessons, you should check him out! This painting was one that I created after studying from one of his lessons. He has influenced me and shown me new ways to use the paintbrush. Anyway, if you are interested in purchasing any of my paintings you can go to my webs site at:www.venskearts.webs.com or on my Etsy page at:www.venskearts.etsy.com.
