Sledding


5"x5" Oil on Canvas

Another painting of my favorite model and inspiration, my granddaughter.  What a fun day we had when this snow storm hit a few years back.  I can only wish for another with her snowed in at Grandma's house.

Do Not Disturb


8"x10" Oil on Canvas

Ahh, the life of a cat!  They eat, they sleep and they really complain if you disturb them.  Yes, life is all about them and humans learn to adjust their lives to cater to the personality of the family cat.  They certainly are demanding, but I love them just the same.  I guess that is why I love to paint them.

Autumn Glow


SOLD
5"x7" Oil on Gessobord

This old barn behind our gallery has been painted many times in about every season; fall and winter being my favorite.  I love all the colors in old weathered barns and their rusted roof tops.  I'm getting the itch to paint winter now that the weather has turned colder and the autumn colors are gone.

Pathway Thru the Birches


20x16 Watercolor on Rice Paper

This was another fun painting done in batik style on rice paper.  The final product is always a surprise.  At one point it is a real stress reliever when you crumple it up like you are going to toss it in the trash....and then the surprises begin.  It is a really fun technique.

Autumn at the Peaks


8x10 Oil on Canvas
SOLD

Well I'm a little late (which is on par for me) with my autumn painting since the colored leaves are just about gone here in Virginia.  But, better late than never.  I just love the weather and colors of autumn.

Sunny Delight


8"x8" Oil on Canvas

This is another flower that I love, but if the deer don't eat them the birds feast on the seeds in the center and they die.  Painting them is more fun anyway.
