Sunrise at Newport Bridge

Oil on canvas 10 x 8 by Brendan Burns

One of my favourite places to see the sunrise is from Jamestown in Rhode Island looking across the bay to the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge. I painted this for a friend as a present for his wife.

Flowers in July

Study of summer flowers painted in acrylic on cavas 30 x 30 by Brendan Burns.
What I like most about this painting, apart from the rich colours, is that when I displayed it outdoors at the Wickford Art Festival the honey bees kept bouncing off the canvas - they were diving into the painting making me believe they mistook them for real.
