Here's a photo of a new songbird painting that is Larry is currently completing. It features a bird familiar common throughout the United States, the American robin. It's perched on an old rusty pump surrounded by a bed of colorful day lilies. This new release will be available at our Open House in October.
Here's a sneak preview of the latest paintings on Larry's easel. These paintings will be released in fall 2012, so check back often to follow the progress and to reserve your print.
One features two impressive typical whitetail bucks from Iowa in a farm scene. Something or someone has just disrupted the scene, and two does are starting to flee.
The other features a bull moose in a verdant green, grassy opening, bathed in shafts of late afternoon light.
Watch for the finished paintings soon!
