Mini Peonies

This little painting is a 4 x 6" postcard. I've always wanted to do some original paintings that people could send to someone special through the mail.  It still takes a little time, though, to paint. These are $19.95 plus shipping.

Going Out For A Sail

While Oliver (my 3 year old grandson) and I were walking the beach on Lake Champlain, we watched our neighbor prepare his boat and put it out in the water. And so, the inspiration for this painting. 10 x 8" oil on wood panel. I love that about landscape painting especially. You relive the moment as you paint the piece!

Calililies and Onions

Sissy and I set up this still life at her house and we painted together. It was nice yo share thoughts and ideas about process. I don't usually have flowers go off the page but I thought I would try this as part of my composition design. 12 x 9" Linen Panel
