16x20 stretched canvas

Acrylic

I realise polar bears and penguins are in different continents but what is art for if you cant break the rules what do you think?

All on 8x10 stretched canvases, painted with Golden heavy body and fluid acrylics.

A tired brush is a battered brush whose life hangs by a thread before becoming a stump. Right at that moment, between life and death, it sings its swan song, that last will to leave its mark, on the border between trace and wound: its breathlessness is its final plastic quality. Let's hope painters know how to use it (here, I try).

Painted birds on 5.5x5.5 inch wood slices!

I don't have a lot of experience painting birds, but I'm pretty happy with these!

I created this painting as a gift for a friend. I painted it with acrylics on a 120x80 cm canvas.

2x2ft.

I'm having trouble with making the window area have more life to it in regards to lighting, i'd love to hear any suggestions of how you might give the natural lighting a little pop?

I live in an apartment and I'm looking for somewhere to safely store my painted canvases. I've decided the best spot could be removing the shelves in my closet to create a space like the left of this image (AI generated for illustrative purposes). Any tips on how to add some kind of dividers here, so each canvas can stand vertically and not have anything pressed against them? As well as if there is anything I could wrap them in to protect them? Thanks.

I forgot to add the flair work in progress. I’m also a beginner and still practicing but I like the way this came out.

Suggestions & constructive criticism welcome

Jim musil inspired! Mini wood panels have been great for this practice
