Original oil paintings with a focus on realism.

Extremely detailed, each painting is done completely by hand, using the finest oil paints and materials.

7 pet parrots and an ongoing fascination with them has led to the "Parrots in Paint" series - original paintings sized 8 x 10 that are as bright and lively as the talking birds themselves!

These paintings have been exhibited at Michigan exotic bird shows with extremely positive response.

Life-sized tromp l'oeil murals, an occasional lighthouse or Marilyn....all are very detailed and are done in clear, bright colors.

"LadyLovesArt" artist Val McCarthy has enjoyed continued success in creating and selling original paintings and prints and filling custom orders.
