Red Amaryllis

Watercolor Some flowers from my garden. This is a small study in red.

Strawberries

Watercolor Copper reflections and the bright red berries caught my eye in this painting. This has shown in a National Exhibition.

Spring Azaleas

Watercolor Tribute to some of the first blooms of spring, these azaleas were a joy to paint after a cold long winter. This was shown in a National Exhibition.

Rose Flurries

Watercolor From tightly closed to full bloom, this painting of roses is a study of those stages of development as well as light and pattern.

Pigs and Peppers on the Society Page

This was exhibited in national competition and has been featured on the cover of a book, as well as included in second […]

My Apples

Oil This is a painting of some apples we grew in our yard. The lighting, textures and reflections were a challenge for me. I also did a study of this in watercolor.

I love cherries, I love the painting by Cezanne on the book, and I enjoyed painting with all this color, texture and […]

Cherries Jubilee

Watercolor In this painting I wanted to continue the theme-within-a-theme of fruit and artists. The paintings in the background were painted by my four year old granddaughter. The photograph behind the bell-jar is of my daughter and father. My father passed away a few years ago, and I’ve been waiting to incorporate the photo into […]
