AN EXHIBITION SNEAK PEEK . . .
From July 1st through August 26th, Jim Rehlin's colorful Parrot Crowd, a framed 24" x 24" acrylic-on-canvas painting (shown here), will be on display and for sale in the City Gallery Exhibition. Curated by the Ann Arbor Art Center and hosted by the City of Ann Arbor, this exhibition space is located in the City Hall's Council Chambers, 301 E. Huron St., 2nd Floor.
Jim's pandemonium of parrots painting was inspired by his visits to Florida along with his research for a painting of two scarlet macaws, which was commissioned last year by a woman who's very fond of these beautiful birds. Visit Artwork Purchasing Options for details and examples of some of Jim's commissioned work.
Additional photos of this exhibition will be posted soon.

A SELECTION OF JIM'S NEWER ARTWORK
Full Moon / Raccoon
Jim's Full Moon / Raccoon depicts a closeup view of some of the pine trees in our yard along with one of the critters who occasionally visit us. When Jim saw the raccoon climbing along a pine tree branch one moonlit night, he knew what his next painting would be... if you look closely, you’ll see the late-night critter among the beautiful pine needles and pine cones, made easier to see in the bright light of the full moon.
If you're interested in purchasing this original 30" x 40" framed acrylic-on-canvas painting, or if you'd like to have Jim create an energy-style painting as a gift for a relative or friend or for yourself, please contact him using the email icon, top right.

Parrot Pair
Jim was inspired to create several parrot paintings, including Parrot Pair (shown here), after he painted an earlier parrot piece on commission for a woman who loves scarlet macaws. Although Jim enjoys painting all kinds of birds, the brightly colored macaws are especially suitable for his energy style of artwork.
Jim's original 24" x 24" framed acrylic-on-canvas painting is available for purchase. Or if you’d like to commission him to create one or more animal paintings using his energy style — with birds, dogs, cats, horses, squirrels, deer, or other animals — please contact Jim via the email icon, top right.

The Village Gobblers
Once again, Mother Nature has provided amazing inspiration for Jim, this time in the form of seven, wild, North American turkeys who flew over the fence and into our back yard one afternoon (yes, wild turkeys fly occasionally). Jim selected three from this flock for his new energy-style painting: a female who wore a rare shade of white, plus a juvenile and an adult male who both wore the more typical black, bluish brown hue, with the tom proudly displaying his tail fan feathers.
Jim’s original 30" x 24" framed acrylic-on-canvas painting, The Village Gobblers, is currently for sale. Please contact Jim via the email icon, top right, if you're interested in purchasing this work, or if you have any questions.

Smokies / Red-Tailed Hawk
On a road trip heading south, a red-tailed hawk kept us company for many miles – flying overhead, disappearing, then reappearing – serving as our guide on the winding roads that cut through the Smoky Mountains. This beautiful creature of nature inspired Jim to paint his Smokies / Red-Tailed Hawk.
Jim's original 20" x 20" gallery-wrapped acrylic-on-canvas Smokies / Red-Tailed Hawk includes the sunset sky that was the backdrop for the graceful and beautiful flying hawk. Please contact Jim via the email icon at the top regarding this painting, which is available for purchase.

Full Moon Rising
The full moon is reflecting on the still water, as seen on a beautiful evening in Florida... this is the view looking across Barnes Sound on the Overseas Highway, as it heads to the Atlantic Ocean near Manatee Bay.
Full Moon Rising celebrates a wrong turn Jim took while on a trip to Florida with Joan. That wrong turn turned into an interesting visual experience and short side trip through Key Largo, which they otherwise wouldn't have had. As a result, Jim created this painting, in celebration of the unexpected pleasures that life holds.
Jim's original 34" x 24" framed acrylic-on-canvas Full Moon Rising is available for purchase. If interested, please contact Jim via the email icon at the top right.

Twin Pines / Lake Martha Sunset
This painting was inspired by Jim’s mother who, the first time she visited us at our current home, was convinced she saw a lake just beyond the pine trees in our back yard. There isn’t one there, but the idea was intriguing, and Jim thought, why not create a painting as a tribute to his mother’s great imagination?
The result is Twin Pines / Lake Martha Sunset, which depicts a view of the setting sun behind two stately red pine trees, on the idyllic shores of Lake Martha. Look closely, and you’ll see a fox and two bunnies, enjoying the view.
