My Visual Art: Nature Inspires Me

Much of my writing is based on the beautiful world around me, as you may have read in the poetry on some of my previous posts.         My Word Art. 

Another aspect of my "art" is photography and now painting. I have already shared some of my snapshots here. Also I have included some of my best photos as illustrations for some of my writing here on this blog.

Recently, I had some of my photos transferred to Canvas. I gave some as Christmas presents the last couple years and have actually sold a few! I have been encouraged by friends and family to display them together in one place. 

In lieu of an Art Gallery, I will start displaying my work here on my Blog. I will begin by posting a few of my Photo Canvas Art here and a few of my Paintings as well. But going forward I will create another tab on this Blog and post my Art there. All are available for purchase.          Please email me if you are interested...                        mjwpoet@yahoo.com or mjwwriter@gmail.com








The first six are Photos on Canvas and have Gallery edges so no frames needed. They are 16X20".

The bottom with me showing it is "Birches Before Autumn Field" which I finished painting in June 2020. It is 20"X24". 

I painted all the side edges even though it is only 5/8" thick. Most people would frame it, but I currently have it hanging on my wall as is and I like it that way, very 'clean' looking.

The painting is in the Impasto style so it is very heavily textured. See an edge-on image of the painting at the right.
