White Orchids

Painted from a cruise that included Costa Rica, I tried to keep this loose in hopes of a realistic outcome. What do you think?

Angie's Birds at the Islet Trail Bridge

This painting might look kind of familiar. It was a hit at the 2nd Annual Village Walk Art Show. I sold the original and received two commissions of the same scene. Alice (previous post) ordered one and Angie ordered a 24 x 36". I wanted them to be original pieces, so I changed various elements on each painting and added a small flock of egrets and ibis' in this painting which is often seen in winter here at Village Walk. We live in a idyllic setting for sure!

Shadows at the Islet Trail Bridge

This painting was commissioned by Alice Schreyer. The color is considerably better in real life and I can't get a good replica of it on this blog. This is a gorgeous spot in Village Walk!

Shellin' Patty

So our dear brother and sister in law visited us while in Naples and I snapped a photo of Patty shelling at the beach. I painted this little 5 x 7  of her as a remembrance.

Painted Sketch of Alyssa

Alyssa comes every Tuesday and I am exploring different settings and poses. This is a quick painted sketch I did last week.
