Rusted Door 5 x 7 Acrylic Italy Landscape Painting



SOLD

When I was visiting Italy I was captivated by much of the architecture, and for some unknown reason specifically doors. Maybe because they were more accessible at eye level. Whatever the reason, I took a multitude of pictures and now I am starting to paint some of them. This beautiful rusted specimen was in Sienna Italy. If this door could only speak! Maybe it does, what do you think?

Tulip Fields 5 x 7 Acrylic of Washington State Tulip Fields



SOLD

I have so many friends in Washington that encouraged me to visit these tulip fields. They were so right. An incredible site and experience to say the least. It's a challenge to put so much color in the landscape, but trust me it was there. A feast for the eye!

SOLD



I plan on painting some larger pieces like this. They will have more Koi in them, but I am liking the contemporary feel of this technique.

Lucy 6 x 6 Acrylic Pet Portrait



SOLD

I have completed quite a few pet portraits in the last few weeks. These portraits are becoming some of my favorite subjects to paint for two reasons. The first being the challenge of capturing the essence of the subject and secondly,experiencing the reaction of the client when they see the finished work. Both are exhilarating! This little lady is Lucy, a Shih Tzu.

If you would like to have a pet portrait painted just contact me at John@brushstrokesstudio.com
