Part of my bird series
One of my favorite birds
Most recent of my doors series
I have a thing about birds! Maybe you do too? I like to watch them, listen to them, ans spot them in nature. When I identify a new bird, I do a painting of it so I can learn more about it
I am also enamored with doors. Photography becomes my art when I travel and then I use the photos as inspiration when I return to the studio. Doors symbolize openings, mysteries, transitions and opportunity.
I have a small studio in my backyard and I like to work in it at night. I often start with an abstract background and then decide which bird or door will fit best on it.
Painting is a source of happiness and satisfaction for me.
Expect to see paintings, cards and cups by Reta Rickmers at the Chico ART Festival!
