Woodpecker Romance is a tall painting on canvas (40 x 16 x 1.5 inches with wide edges) of two woodpeckers flirting with each other on two trees. The style is Art Nouveau and contemporary. The two trees rise up in a window-like, elegant motion and the branches curl around each other, making sinuous patterns against the gold-tinted sunset sky. The paint is thick and textured and the patterns continue around the edge of the canvas on all sides. This painting is not a typical one for me, as there was no real inspiration for it apart from just liking Art Nouveau and woodpeckers and getting a concept in my mind that it would look good. I like the simplicity of it and the playfulness of the birds. It is ready to hang and does not need a frame.
