Ysengrin,the Wolf and Butterflies

Ysengrin, the Wolf, and Butterflies

12 x 12

Oil

This painting was inspired by a friend of mine in France. How do you paint the mystery and magic of a wolf? I was intrigued by the European black wolves. I added the butterflies to soften the image and leave a trace of stories to be told. I will be explaining more about this painting in an upcoming posting. Stay tuned.

Besides living in a frog pond, the next best place for a frog is in your garden. What a lovely site to see a frog amongst your flowers. This frog has followed the flowers into the house to observe the arrangement in the floral bouquet. Visit my website to purchase this painting. SpohnStudio.com

I had to touch up a larger painting in the studio and then used the rest of the paint to create this small floral. It is Memorial Day, nice a quiet, a good end to the holiday. This painting is for sale, visit my website to purchase.  SpohnStudio.com

First Outdoor Art Show of the Season

Here I am, tired from setting up the booth and hanging my paintings, but still smiling. My first show of the season went pretty well. Attendance for the show was minimal but those who came to the show loved bunnies and flowers. So I was in my element. Below is a photo of some of my paintings, 2 of those paintings sold at the show.

Now I will be in the studio painting everyday to replace some of these large pieces in my booth. My next art show will soon be here.
