ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2020 Submission

I enjoy doing ocean scenes but also love painting animals with their individual characteristics. Pastels were my medium of choice until 12 years ago when I started experimenting with paint on mirrors. I use enamel paint so it adheres to the mirror without coming off. The beginning of a new piece is a challenge because you are looking at yourself. I also enjoy the thrill of finding old mirrors, refurbishing the frames and giving the mirror new life with an original painting. I am honored when someone purchases a piece knowing it will hang in a home or office and be appreciated for its uniqueness.
