A fun 24" x 24" canvas for a smaller space. Not sure the title of this little heron in the grass yet, but it sure was fun to paint. (Currently available) #oilpainting #heron #painting #magazinestreetnola #nolaart (at Alex Beard Studio)

Love our new antique mantel from The Bank Architectural Antiques on Felicity Street in #NOLA! Proudly displaying "The Roost", original ink on paper drawing above it. Famed and looking fabulous, if I do say so myself. #inkdrawing #archeswatercolorpaper #winsorandnewtonink #TheRoost #TheBankNewOrleans #SUNDAYfunday (at Alex Beard Studio)

With all of the rain, my garden has exploded. I drew this peacock, "The Garden Peacock", in the garden room at my house in front of big windows looking outside last fall. Until today, I didn't notice just how much the feathers looked like the vines, gardenias, roses, iron weed, elephant ears, jasmine, palms, magnolia branches, etc etc, that are thriving. A little bit of The Garden District's jungle inspiration in this one for sure. #peacock #limitededitionprint

To spread awareness for #WorldTigerDay today, I'm posting an abstract ink on paper gestural tiger from 2007. I love these beautiful creatures and I am frequently inspired by them when making artwork. Global Tiger Day or International Tiger Day is a annual celebration to raise awareness for tiger conservation, to promote protecting natural habitats of tigers, and to raise public awareness and support for Tiger issues. To learn more about this awesome day, check out the WWF website. #GlobalTigerDay #InternationalTigerDay #TigerDay #InkDrawing #TigerArtwork (at Alex Beard Studio)

Almost finished with "Room for Two", a new smaller pelicans oil on canvas painting. Using an old rag to rub the oil paint wash into the canvas, a favorite technique for this washy style of painting. #painting #magazinestreet #magazinestreetnola #oilpaint #JazzFest #Pelican #Pelicans #workinprogress #inprocess (at Alex Beard Studio)

The sun is emerging after a rainy Thursday morning, and so are some new shapes and ideas in the studio on three canvases. We will see what else evolves soon... #inprocess #workinprogress #oilpaint #oilpainting (at Alex Beard Studio)

Happy #EarthDay. An important day! A day about peace and recognizing the importance of environmental consciousness, conservation, and protection. I love the earth and my artwork is fully inspired by the creatures that inhabit it. I support today's March for Science and those who can rally around the world for it. An important march for an important cause. #sciencemarch #MarchForScience #EndangeredSpieces #ClimateChange #Earth

A #throwbackthursday for this oil painting "The Ram is Monkey" circa 2010. This one was a fun composition to create.
