Jaz


7"x5" Oil on Gessobord

SOLD

I had so much fun painting this beautiful shepard.   This is another pet of Marie's and her husband's, Steve.  I don't think he was camera shy, with this perfect pose.

Focused


8"x8" Oil on Gessobord

Back to painting one of my favorite subjects, animals.  Thanks to my very good friend, Marie and her husband I now have some wonderful photos of their animals.  They have always been blessed with many furry friends.  This one is focused on birds outside the window; I don't think anything could break the concentration.

Summer Poppies


Summer Poppies
14"x11" Oil on Canvas
SOLD

It's time to start thinking spring, I've had enough of winter.  The snow is beautiful, but I really was looking forward to snow in December.  

This painting is an experimental piece.  It started as a watercolor on rice paper (faux batik), however when I was done I still wasn't happy with it.  I mounted it on a gallery wrap canvas, covered it with a clear gesso and then fixed the portion I wasn't happy with using oil paints.

The beautiful scenery of Maine is never ending; I just can't get enough of it when visiting.   My camera always comes home filled with photos.
