Contemplation

 I originally found a reference from Pinterest for this piece.  It reminds me of a dear friend who use to pose for me when I first started painting.  I added in our horses, Paint and Lilly. 12 x 9" Oil on board

Love Doves

 It's been a long time since I've posted paintings.  But I am back in the swing of things!  This painting is a mix of a couple of different references.  It's too bad I couldn't have real doves sit for me! 24 x 20" Oil on panel

Lily

 Lily was a beautiful Palomino.  Her coat would glisten with gold in the sunlight.  My daughter had her for a year before she went to live with a dear friend and experienced horse owner.  She's healthy and happy and we are so glad we have this painting of her, although we never would forget her.

Paint Portrait

 I owned this beautiful horse for a year.  I miss him terribly but it was an adventure of a lifetime.  I hope one day to own horses again. This small oil portrait is a 12 x 9" on linen canvas.

Wait For Me!

"Wait for Me"

 My daughter has chickens of all shapes and sizes on her "Quarter Acre Farm". It's hysterical watching these little chicks follow her around like she is their mama. The mature chickens were not protecting the little chicks from predators, so my daughter became their protector. The little one on the end can't keep up with her big sisters, so she says: "Wait for me!" 10 x 8" oil on canvas board.

$145 unframed

Ella

 This horse has such a personality. I hope her owner allows me to meet her one day! I didn't realize how much I would enjoy painting horses, and maybe I'll get more opportunities! 

Gigi

 When I was painting this beautiful horse, I couldn't help but think that the horse is the most graceful animal God has created! Yet the horse also has incredible strength and agility! I loved working on this project. Thank you Errin for the opportunity! Oil on 14 x 11" stretched canvas.

Yellowstone

Have you ever been to Yellowstone National Park? We visited Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons last year. It was an incredible trip that included gorgeous vistas and lots of animal sightings. I was commissioned to create a piece of art that would incorporate bison and the beautiful landscape. I would love to go back to that area. Bison, Elk and Moose, oh my! Just Fabulous!!!

 24 x 36" oil on stretched canvas

Dark Waters

 The clouds for most of the month of July on Colchester Point, Vermont were magnificent. It seems everyday we saw a demonstration of powerful clouds and its' impact on the waters. Makes us feel small, don't you think? 10 x 8" oil on panel board.

The Kayaker

 This landscape depicts a spot on beautiful Lake Champlain on Mills Point, Colchester.  It is always a serene spot and these kayaks are stacked nearby for the residents to enjoy this gorgeous spot. 12 x 16" oil on canvas panel.

Ducky's Black Eyed Susans

 Every morning Dan and I go for a walk and see these beautiful flowers growing wild on the side of the road. I'm a huge fan of the Queen Anne's Lace as well.  The variety and beauty of flowers speak of God's wisdom and love. 14 x 11". Oil on stretched canvas

A Little Nibble

It's so enjoyable to watch squirrels busily finding nuts, burying them in their secret places for winter and nibbling on some for energy.  This painting was a challenge as begonias are not the easiest plant to paint, but I did enjoy the process! 14 x 11" oil on canvas panel.

Fuzzy Flappers

Flora, Feathers and Fuzzies No. 3

My grandson named this piece. I tried to be a bit more loose with this painting, but that is so very hard to do! I'm always trying to "tweak it"! 11 x 14" oil on canvas panel. $175

"Waiting For Espresso"

Flora, Feathers and Furries Series, Painting No. 2

I purchased these cups many years ago at Anthropology when we were really into drinking espresso! So my little feathery friend is waiting for his turn! 14 x 11" oil on cotton canvas panel.

Three Roses and A Birdie

I've always wanted to paint a series of florals with birds, so this is the first in my "Flora, Feathers and Furries" Series. I hope you like them.

Three Roses and A Birdie is an oil painted on a canvas panel 14 x 11".

The Beekeeper

This past year I've worked on some creative ideas with landscapes and animals. The Beekeeper was inspired by some adorable bunnies and my daughter who keeps bees. This painting is a 14 x 11" oil on canvas panel. 

Burlington Waterfront

I had an hour to paint this 8 x 16" Oil at the Burlington Waterfront one day. The wind was howling and just about knocked over the easel more than once. People were doing their best to enjoy a Vermont "summer day", but they had their jackets on for sure! $60

Colchester Causeway

This is a plein air painting of the Colchester Causeway in Vermont. It was a wonderful 5 weeks of being in Vermont. I painted impressions of the beautiful landscape and lake vistas. The Colchester Causeway is a gorgeous bike path that starts in Colchester and travels across the lake to the Lake Champlain Islands. 8 x 16" Oil on panel. Sold

Kaity's Bouquet

This Study was painted after Kaity and Josiah sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers that were screaming to be painted. I enjoyed them even more as I worked on getting the intense red color.
12 x 9" Oil

A Precious Moment in Time

I would consider this another paradise earth scene. It depicts my favorite things - horses and the ocean.  I see myself as that girl walking the beach...18 x 24". $375
