Bouquet of Hydrangeas

Another beautiful flower, hydrangeas. Who knew a blue flower could have such personality! Oil Painting: 20 x16"

Lofty Peonies

I painted this during a flower painting

workshop with James Sulkowski! This sold to a wonderful family and I can't wait to see it on her wall! There's nothing prettier than a peony!

Mexicano Guitar Player

One of my beautiful models, Ryell,  posed for this painting. On a sad note, it is the last painting I did with a dear artist friend, John Cooney.  John gave me valuable support and help in painting the model. He was a great painter.  Ryell is a wonderful young woman and a superb model. This oil is 24 x 18"

Cabbage Study

Last year I grew cabbage in my garden and fell in love with how gorgeous they are.  This year, I asked my friend, Shelleace if we could paint one from her garden with the root stock in all it's perfect glory! I like this "vegetable" thing!

Baby Eggplants

This year, I tried to eat "local" by going to the great little farm stands

around my camp in Vermont.  I fell in love with these baby eggplants and hurried home to paint them before they went bad because I had to make curried eggplant soup with them (YUM). The flowers are all from my garden in the front yard.

"Morning Glory in the Dark"

So I grabbed this morning glory first thing in the morning when the sun was still coming up. I hope I captured the brightness of the flower against the dark.  Sometimes simple things can be really nice to look at.

Fishing on the Winooski River

This 20 x 24" painting was accomplished in the studio after painting a small watercolor/gouache this spring off the Heineberg Road in Colchester Vermont. The fisherman was a friendly guy. It's really nice how art can be a start to interesting conversations!
