Revisiting the road theme again. I seem to be continually looking to the future and I sometimes have to remind myself to appreciate the present. For me, these road paintings encapsulate both. 11x14 oil on canvas. Currently available. #painting #oilpainting #fineart #art #wallawalla #wallawallauniversity #matthewbpierceart #matthewpierceart #matthewpierce #landscape #palouse #wheat #wheatfields #sky #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting

New year, new work! First painting of 2018 11x14 oil on canvas. I’m liking the direction I seem to be heading. #painting #oilpainting #fineart #art #wallawalla #wallawallauniversity #matthewbpierceart #matthewpierceart #matthewpierce #landscape #palouse #wheat #wheatfields #sky #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting

The last painting of 2017. “Is Anyone There?”18x24 oil on panel. Found this old rotary phone in a box and thought I needed to paint it. #oilpainting #oil #fineart #art #matthewpierce #matthewbpierce #matthewbpierceart #wallawalla #wallawallauniversity #vintage #rotarydial #phone #orange

Four attempts later... Never have I worked on a portrait that was so elusive. ‘Nicole’ 11x14 oil on canvas. Somewhere I read (...and I’ve often quoted) that “painting is like falling down the stairs and landing on your feet”. In this case it was four flights of stairs. NFS. #painting #oilpainting #fineart #art #wwuartdepartment #matthewpierceart #matthewbpierce #portrait #portraiture #portraitpainting

Untitled Bird No. 2 oil on canvas. I have no idea what kind of bird this is. Probably because it lives in Italy. My daughter Sophia @artwahtah photographed it after she heard I was going to paint a dead bird. She’s in Florence for the year and came upon this poor deceased fellow. #bird #matthewpierceart #matthewbpierceart #oil #oilpainting #fineart #painting #wallawallauniversity #wwuartdepartment #windex

Untitled Bird No. 1 oil on canvas. I’m realizing that I’m drawn to contradictions. This little guy hit the window this summer and I was fascinated by the beauty of this fragile little creature. But also the tragic reality that, unfortunately, we see far to often. #bird #matthewpierceart #matthewbpierceart #oil #oilpainting #fineart #painting #wallawallauniversity #wwuartdepartment #windex

Red Samsonite 18x24 oil on board. Revisiting an old theme. I’m loving the big swipe of paint across the middle. #oilpainting #oil #fineart #art #samsoniteluggage #samsonite #red #matthewpierce #matthewbpierce #matthewbpierceart #wallawalla #wallawallauniversity #luggage SOLD

The Pink Squirt gun. 24x23 oil on panel. Notice it's not 6x6 like the rest of the series? This is the big one. If it dries in time, it'll go in the ArtSquared show, but I'm skeptical. If it doesn't make it I guess it will go up for sale. Working on the background has given me some ideas for some abstract paintings 🤔... we'll see... #artwalla #oil #matthewpierceart #matthewbpierce #matthewbpierceart #fineart #waterpistol #squirtgun #fineart #art #wallawalla #wallawallauniversity #oilpainting #painting #toys #vintagetoys
