Brenda Francis: Birds

September 20 – December 14, 2024

Brenda Francis paints many subjects, and one of her favorites is birds. Having spent several weeks a year photographing large water birds, Francis has an understanding of them that is apparent in her work. Francis paints with a mastery of her medium and color, depicting serene scenes of Florida birds in their natural habitats, almost emphasizing the waterscape more than the birds themselves. Francis explains, “Sometimes, the bird’s world is as beautiful as the bird itself.”
