Autumn Walk

Autumn Walk
11x14 Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas


Painted as part of a challenge in a painting group I belong to. A reference photo is chosen and everyone 'makes it their own'. The photo had no people in it but I felt it needed a 'story', so the girl and her dog was my choice.  I have a lot of fun painting the leaves in multiple layers of color, which unfortunately does not so up as rich as it looks in person.

Pancakes for Dinner

Pancakes!
8x8 Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

My mom used to make pancakes for dinner sometimes. I don't know why they taste better at night. But they do.

Bluebells in Green - SOLD

Bluebells in Green
8x10 Acrylic on Panel


This was both fun and a challenge. Greens are something I'm learning to paint. Last January I moved to a house situated in the middle of a 275 acre tree nursery and it has given me the advantage of spending time on the deck just looking at "green trees". Do you know how many greens there are? And did you know "Blue Spruce" is actually a slight lavender tint? I know it sounds weird but I look at trees now and think  - "hmmmm, olive with a touch of ultramarine blue", or "just a pinch of cadmium red in that one".  Art geek.
