Matthew Bird Studio

My largest commissioned painting to date, a beautifully aged Caterpillar tractor, “Iron Giant” (SOLD). It was really a fun project and great to paint something outside my norm.

I’m honored to have a 6 page feature in The Art of Watercolour magazine, I thank writer Sara Winckler for her thoughtful questions and kind words. Available now on *some* newsstands. It is a French publication, and some answers may have gotten lost in translation, so I should clear up that my mom is not an artist and I’m not becoming a landscape painter (although I like to dabble☺️)

This weekend was the opening reception for the BWS Signature Member Exhibition at the Annapolis Maritime Museum. Many thanks to all the folks that made the show possible, and thanks to the friends and family that came out to visit, I appreciate the support!
This painting has sold and will be in its new home later next month.

A whirlwind couple of days, I was honored to be the awards juror for TWSA, (which was way harder than I thought) then on to the AWS awards diner in NYC. Always a delight to catch up with my art friends!
