"Shangri-La"

This is a large painting: 30 x 40'. It was a commission for a couple who love this old hotel in Bonita Springs. The difficulty was getting a proper photo because it's been closed up for repairs for several years and I haven't actually SEEN it. It was a test of some creativity, that's for sure!

Plums and Daisies

This 18 x 24" painting was painted with a unique palette of colors. Using only the complementary colors of purple helps to pull the painting together as a whole. This one took a long time but I really love using grays and the complements of colors to unify a painting.

Painter's Tea

This was a fun subject. But it took great self control for my grandson, Landon not to play with "little art man". As a matter of fact, he did get to it one time when I wasn't looking! 11 x 14" Oil

Paintbrushes and a Bird's Nest

It was difficult to get the colors adjusted correctly when photographing this painting. We found the bird's nest in our canoe when doing spring cleaning. Oil 12 x 16"

In the Woods

This was from a photograph one day when I was sick. I am exploring these unusual colors for landscape. 4 x 6: W/C and Gouache.
