Monhegan Windows

12"x20" Watercolor

This is one of my few watercolor paintings done from a wonderful trip to Monhegan Island, Maine with a group of artist friends.  The people of Monhegan had planted flowers everywhere and were just beautiful, these window boxes were on a garage.   

Spring Fling

10"x20" Oil on Panel

It is one year ago today that I started this blog and it was with much hesitation since I know if you don't keep a blog current the followers stop following.  Not being an organized person I knew it would force me to be a little more organized and also to paint more, and that is a good thing.  Thank you to all who have followed my blog and commented.  I always enjoy the comments.

These daffodils were so pretty blooming in my yard this year, especially after the long cold winter.  Flowers are not my favorite to paint, so it was a struggle to get these done; and I'm still not sure they are done, but I think I am!

Art Critique

SOLD

10"x10" Oil on Canvas

This little girl was the "Princess" of the Centerfest festival in Bedford last fall.  She appeared to love looking at all the art and took her time in viewing all the artwork.  She was just too cute not to photo for a future painting.

Fishy Business

10"x8" Oil on Canvas

This was a fun new technique to try.  I had seen other artists adhere newspaper to a canvas and clear gesso the newspaper.  I thought I would give it a try and to my surprise I was pleasantly surprised.

Fluffy

5"x5" Oil on Canvas

Another of my favorite subjects, and cats are high up on the list of animals.  It is fascinating to see all the colors that are in a cat's eyes. 

Sunny Daze

8"x8" Oil on Canvas

Ok, I think spring is really here in Virginia.  I sure am hoping anyway and ready to do some warm weather paintings.  Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers; but always a struggle to paint; but never give up on.
