JP, thanks for showing! Those are some great pieces there. I am really drawn to the "Point Reyes". Has she ever done any of the Great Lakes Freighters? Just asking because of your location.
My favorite is the lunch box with the Buddy Poppy, wow, that one evokes some emotion. Very nice work, please pass that along to her and post more anytime!

Afternoon Sir, got a couple more pics for you ,and the Others .
To answer your ? Regarding Great Lakes , did a few things when up by Duluth/ Superior area ,she’ll have to look for them . The Point Reves was a East coast trip if we remember right. Thanks for taking an interest, makes my wife’s day ::tu::
The lunch box was my last day of work ,on my way out for the last day . She did a great job with it . Agree with you Ike, it gets you .
Take care ,stay safe and warm.
Note, the Owl. Is a bigger piece still in progress , the eyes are awesome . This one is going in our room ! Been waiting a year for this one, it’ll be worth it .

The owl's eyes seem to follow me as I moved around in our office! Be sure to share that one when your wife finishes it. ::tu::

Thanks Philip , will let her know. She starts every painting with the eyes ,if in the painting. She believes it’s the most critical part of the painting .
Have a good one down there , and stay safe and warm. ::handshake::

JP, I think your wife's art is wonderful. Her animal portraits have enormous appeal to me. I love how she uses the darker background resulting in highlighting the center of interest. The steer, the birds, would be proud to adorn my walls with any of these. I do not mean to minimize her skill with other subjects in any way, its just that animals are a lifelong interest for me. I think your wife is a remarkable talent.

I like your wife’s art work very much. Very impressive! I agree with QS that her animal paintings are very striking. But I guess my favorites are the Port Reyes and the one of you with the cooler. Very impressive.

The reverse shadows blew me away. One of the coolest paintings I’ve ever seen. Would love to purchase it or trade knives for it.😊

Oh, that’s great stuff! I love the way she sees ordinary stuff, like the guy with the cooler and the tp. Very well done!
