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.

Sunrise at Zeeks Creek Jamestown

Acrylic on panel 12 x 9 by Brendan Burns

From Jamestown there is an interesting view of Newport Bridge form Zeeks Creek.
This is another sunrise painting - I was interested in the reflections in the marsh at low tide.

Sunrise at East Greenwich

Acrylic on canvas 10 x 8

This was a colourful sunrise at East Greenwich Harbour in August.

Polar Bear Study

Acrylic on Canvas 16 x 20 by Brendan Burns

I spent several weekends at the Roger Williams Park Zoo studying the animals and was fascinated by Kobe the young female Polar Bear who was just 6 months old at the time and quite comical.
