Acrylic Painting

Acrylic work showcases fantastical flora and fauna in natural and cosmic settings, created as an escape from mundane life in isolation during the pandemic.

You can find mini acrylic paintings for sale in my Etsy shop, and prints of larger works in my INPRNT shop.

A painting of a flying seagull, soaring over the diagonal horizon of sea and sky, with two puffy, brown and white clouds overhead. The background is somewhat impressionist, while the seagull (especially its feathers) is in more detail.

A blue painting with violet streaks, bright yellow stripes in the shape of two arcs, like a rainbow. Pink yarn is stitched through the top edge of the canvas, forming two knots on top.

A pink and white painted paper snowflake surrounded by four paper diamonds on a lavender background. There is pink yarn wrapped around the edges of the canvas.

A ball of pink yarn is in the top left corner; the bottom left corner has a paper snowflake with penned lines within it. The bottom left corner has three yarn stitches wrapped around the edge of the canvas.

A little, orange, white, and brown stuffed fox on a puffy, blue background.

A nighttime scene: a dirt path between sparse moonlit trees, the full moon shining overhead in a blue and purple sky.

A single eye crying a tear of flame on a vibrant rainbow background.

A pink-tinged white rose and a curling gold ribbon over a lush, multicolor background of red, green, and royal blue.

A dark teal moth with fluffy orange antennae and abdomen, shown from above, facing the upper right corner. There are bright pink paint chips texturing the moth's wings. The background is busy and striped with yellow and the same, but fainter, teal.

A great white shark with mouth open swimming through the open water.

A tortoise lumbering to the left over grass on a pink background. From the tortoise's back sprout four red-stalked mushrooms, the tops of which look like slices of pepperoni pizza.

A deep blue saguaro-looking cactus with thick arms, growing from a neutral brown desert with sparse, red grass. The background sky is orange with red notes.

Three mushroom houses with green, purple, and pink caps with tiny, square, yellow windows. Dark green moss hangs from their caps. The background sky is a pastel rainbow.

A mossy piece sign with patches of darker green hanging moss, and five pink, white, and blue daisies over a swirled, pink and purple background.

A green field with blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries in the foreground. A honeybee, dragonfly, chickadee, hawk, and silhouettes of swallows fly overhead. Two tree silhouettes are on either edge of the painting in front of a yellow, sunset sky. A rock lies at the left far edge of the field, and a few pale clouds sit in the sky.

A long, thin, dragon of dark green with white spikes like a cactus and thin fins like an eel swoops in an infinity symbol in starry blue space.

An olive green, striped snake with a blue-green belly, red eye, yellow tongue out and four pairs of tiny white and pink angel wings hovers over a pink background with blue stripes. Two globular, spiked cacti with white and blue flowers hover in the top right and bottom left corners.

A dark blue and purple fuzzy snail with a pink and red spiral face. Its shell is orange and pink. It glides to the right across a rusty red surface, the background sky is bright aqua with purple lines.
