Welcometo my online gallery! !
NuArt features both my easle paintings and new work that combines digital and traditional painting techniques.
Daylily I am an artist as well as a daylily hybridizer. This section features the exotic daylilies I love. |
Let's Bonobo! Bonobos are the “make love not war” chimpanzees! Pansexual, Bonobos have amazingly rich sex lives. Scientists who study the Bonobo are known to use “bonobo” as a verb. Let’s Bonobo! |
Evolution Happens: Archaeopteryx Archaeopteryx the "flying reptile" is, perhaps, the quintessential example of a transitional fossil. It is very difficult to explain away this physical record of evolution! |

Spectral Topography Spectral Topography is a vibrant explosion of golden rod, Matsumoto asters, mums and boltonia. A high energy painting of blues, violets, fuchsia and yellow. |
Spring Fling Spring Fling is a visual distillation of joy. Reminiscent of a square mandala of richly fragrant spring flowers: lilium, freesia, stock, daffodils and iris. |
Chromotherapy A lush tropical bouquet featuring Birds of Paradise, this painting illustrates the healing power of color: "chromotherapy". |

Hybrid Art Hybrid Art is my term for a blend of traditional easle painting and painting with light via digital manipulation. This form is perfectly suited for the light-based medium of the internet. |
Yen Yang Yen Yang A beautiful juxtaposition of the sister paintings Walking On Sunshine and Blue Moon. |
Blue Moon A nocturne in magenta, purple and blue with molten passages of orange and yellow. This painting is deeply resonant and enigmatic, often stopping gallery visitors in their tracks. |
|||
Walking On Sunshine Walking On Sunshine and Blue Moon are sister paintings created using a plein air image as a departure point. The paintings were created as aesthetic reactions to the songs bearing their titles. |
Cro-Magnon Progression This painting represents the progression of painting over the last 35,000 years from the Cro-Magnon cave paintings of Lascaux to Post-Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism. |
Spring Poem This painting began as an abstract tone poem. As I added color and shapes a woodland scene emerged. I imagined the late April sunlight filtering through the canopy of spring leaves and redbud blosso |

Abstract Abstract paintings by Brian Mahieu including: Remains of the Days and Phoenix Rising. These vivid images create amazingly textural mousepads, greeting cards and journals. |
First Snowfall This plein air painting captures an ancient pair of Western Red Cedars as the first snowfall of the season sifts through their branches. |
The Artist's Garden—Poppies Vibrant orange, lavender and turquoise slabs of paint describe the riot of color in my early summer garden. A rich impressionist tribute to perennial flower gardening in the style of Monet. |

Cottage Garden Bouquet I grew most of the flowers in this painting from seed, and cut the bouquet for a friend's wedding. The original oil painting was 4 by 3 feet. |
