Abstract - Water Life by Marcy Brennan

Acrylic on 24" x 24" x 3/4" deep gallery canvas

This is the second in my series of three abstracts I've been recently working on. I love the water and incorporated all my favorite colors of the water at the inlet across from where I live. There are many layers to this piece and therefore lots of interesting texture. The edges are painted a coordinating turquoise.

Coco by Marcy Brennan

Oil on 12" x 12" x 1.5" deep gallery canvas - NFS

This is a pet portrait I was commissioned to paint for my daughter's friend. Not sure what the breed is, but I'm pretty sure she is a mix as she is a rescued dog from the Humane Society. I think her name Coco aptly describes her! She's a beauty with very expressive eyes.

Pink Garden Rose by Marcy Brennan

24" x 30" oil on 1.5" deep gallery canvas

Pink roses are my all-time favorite flowers. I painted this several years ago from a photo I took of a rose in our backyard garden. I wanted the rose to just fill the entire canvas so you can almost feel it opening up before your eyes.

White Water Lily on Purple Lily Pads

5" x 7" oil on canvas panel

This is a new painting in my water lily series. I used one of Arlene Brooks' wonderful photos and took a little liberty with the lily pads making them a bit more purple than the photo. I loved the green color of the water, especially with the purple lily pads. This was a fun one to paint.

Northern New Mexico Church by Marcy Brennan

11" x 14" oil on canvas panel

I painted this from a photo I took years ago when we lived in New Mexico. While I don't remember the exact location of this church, I do know that it was in Northern New Mexico, probably between Santa Fee and Las Vegas (NM).

Street of Shops Mount Dora, FL by Marcy Brennan

11" x 14" watercolor on paper

This is one of my favorite spots at Renninger's Antiques in Mount Dora, Florida. Most of Renninger's has large fixed buildings, but just across the cobble stone walkway is a string of little individual cottages and sheds containing all sorts of goodies. This particular building is my favorite. It almost looks like someone's home with it's climbing rose garden out front.
