First Snow

SOLD

10"x8" Oil on Canvas

I just love painting snow, the colors cast from the shadows on the snow are so varied.  I love the quiet after a snow storm when the sun is shining on the crystal flakes.  It is just magical.

Autumn Pasture


16"x20" Oil on Canvas

 I have always been fascinated by horses, they are such a beautiful animal.  A friend of mine had this photo and I couldn't resist painting it when she offered it to me.

Summer Sunshine


5"x5" Oil on Gessobord

I just can't resist the challenge to paint these giant beauties.  The child care center across the street from our studio had planted these in the front of their building.  I'm not sure how they kept the birds from eating them, but they were an awesome sight.

Island Sunset


11"x14" Oil on Canvas

There is nothing so magical as the sunsets on Monhegan Island, Maine.  The whole earth just glows with such beautiful colors.  Painting knives are becoming my friend.  The way the colors blend and the surprises that happen with the knives are so exciting, and well then there are other times that are just so frustrating I wonder why am I doing this.
