Have you ever seen a painting that is so breathtakingly beautiful that you what to reach out and touch the image in reality? A painting that is so detailed and brilliant that you think you are standing inside the picture instead of observing it from afar. You shiver from the cold simply because you see snow or you squeeze your toes in the sand of a sparkling beach as you anticipate the ocean wave washing in just close enough to rinse your feet and make you dance.
It is truly a miraculous gift when an artist can transfer what he sees in nature to a canvas in such a vivid rendition that a touch of fear tingles down your spine because you feel the natural fear of being too close to a couple of circling tigers. Or you wait to hear the haunting “who” from a solitary Snowy Owl sitting on a fence post, searching for the slightest movement. You know you have been completely immersed in the scene when you believe you can hear the moose’s lonely cry for his mate to join him across the water.
Beautiful Art from Richard Burns introduces us to the aforementioned paintings and more. His wife, Heather426, has graciously shared his work and the inspiration behind the featured selections. Some of his art can even be found on posters and in calendars. Imagine flipping the page each month to a new vision of beauty that captures the serene settings of one of these lovely paintings or waking each morning to the greeting of a stunning sunrise over a lovely cottage. Take note, there is always a welcoming light in each of his lighthouses or homes.
To find a piece of art so magnificent, one that you could own and bring into your own home, is indeed a rare discovery.

The talent of Richard Burns has impressed me ever since I was introduced to it by Heather when I met her at RocketMoms. And yes, I want to "be" in his paintings!
Thank you so much for this! Richard is so pleased. You should see the new seascapes he is doing now. I will be posting some of them soon.
Thanks again!
