Leslie Pino Durant Hoodies

Lots of color added to a canvas and then mask out the petals. I think it came out wonderfully!

Blue and red ovals on layered, colorful background.

Acrylic on mini canvas created with the word discover in mind, so I attached “discover” to it.

Explosion of flowers in a vase of color. Original is mixed media: collage, acrylic - on paper.

I watched this little fox gobble up a mouse in about 30 seconds. He sat there, fully satisfied, as I took his/her photo.

Sphere blooms (1 of 2) - acrylic painting on canvas. I needed two brightly colored happy pieces for my bathroom. I repurposed two old canvases and created berry bright pieces. Here is one.

Mama moose and her twins were on the move right outside of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.

I saw this young man drinking from the Colorado River. I didn’t think I was bothering him until this moment when he looked up at me.

These two were on a leisurely stroll around the corner from my cabin in Grand Lake, Colorado.

Two young moose (probably brothers) enjoying the Spring weather.

Peaceful Holy Lady Acrylic Painting on Canvas.

I wanted a mixed media background with orange as the dominant color. Then I drew a skirt and I wanted her hands to be on her hips - showing confidence. She’s fierce and fancy!

The inspiration for this lady came from my niece Maria. She is confident, happy, beautiful, and very smart. I love this piece and I love my Maria. Enjoy!

She stared at me and I didn’t want to take my eyes off of her. I stopped painting her abruptly. She told me when she was done.

This lovely lady was photographed in the Rocky Mountain National Park.

Many bright colors helped me bring her to life. Also, she’s named after one of my favorite people.

This piece was created for my Dad. I gave it to him and my Mom on Father’s Day. It’s my absolute favorite. Enjoy!

This is number three of a series of three I painted of Spring Flowers. Enjoy!

I painted this when my son was in college out of state. It was a reminder of his home state. It still hangs on his wall. I’’m very proud of the texture in the yellow section and how it stands out ahead of the mixed media colors.

This mixed media floral painting has so much texture, color, and life!

Bright Friendly Flowers

Calm bull elk in Rocky Mountain National Park.

These flowers weren’t circular at first. It needed more blue, so I circled around with the same blue I used on the vase.

Colorful LOVE letter tiles!
