Birds in and of Paradise


Both of these paintings were done from photos I took around MiraBay where we live.  It is a beautiful place.  I look at the bridges every time we enter or exit our home.  And the bird of paradise was in bloom just at the main entrance.  I walk to the bird of paradise and rest; then I walk home passed the bridge.

They are both painted around the edges so no frame is necessary even though they, of course, can be framed.  The colors are the same and they are the same size so they can be hung as a dyptic.

I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed painting them.
