Resting Pelican

I saw this pelican at the Denver Zoo and just had to paint it.  Such beautiful white feathers.

Golden Boys



This acrylic painting is called "Golden Boys."  I designed this painting based on a composite of 3 different photos of the same palomino horse.  I sold this painting last year.

Boogie Board

"Boogie Board" is an acrylic painting based on a trip to Oahu.  My husband and I saw two boys taking a rest from a day a surfing on the famous Sunset Beach.   Every time I look at this painting, I think of that particular day of touring.

In The Pink

I'm currently in a funk about my artwork, and so I'm posting one of my
older paintings. Hopefully, I get out of this mood soon.

Backlit

This painting taught me how to repair a torn painting. I had somehow managed to tear it after I had just completed painting it. Talk about frustration! With a bit of ingenuity, medium, acid-free glue, and paint, I was able to repair it successfully.

Still Waters

Sophie's Red Dress

This little girl is my husband's nieces daughter -- Sophie. She is wearing her Christmas dress in the painting. Sophie is now about 13 years old, and growing into a pretty young lady.

A Remarkable Bird

This is one of the few paintings that I've sold that I really regret selling. It took a while to paint and came out the way I wanted it to, which doesn't happen very often.

Pensees

I've had this painting for about 4 years. I thought I would never be able to sell it. Glad to say I just sold it! The wierd thing was that I had 2 buyers that were interested in it this year. Not a peep of interest in it prior to this year.

White Majesty

White Majesty is one of my older paintings which had the honor of becoming 1 of 250 finalists out 13,300 entrees in the "Animal Art" category in The Artist's Magazine 1999 art competition.

Diva

Brio

Many people have told me they just love this painting.

Zuri

"Zuri" was the other painting that got treated so shabbily by it's artist. I never did find this one.

Needs Salt

Unfortunately, this poor painting along with another, got run over by my car before it ever had a chance to be matted and framed. In a hurry, I absently left it on the hood of my car. I didn't even discover my mistake until I went hunting for it so I could mat and frame it. I found it, there in the street in front of my house, with tire tracks over it. The other painting, Zuri, was no where to be seen. Surprise, I don't ever leave my paintings on the hood of my car any more.

Vagrant Pansies

This painting was published in the The International Artist Magazine's October/November 2004 as one of 10 finalists in their Challenge 32 -- Stilllife and Florals competition.

Three Roses

One of the many floral paintings I've done. This one sold in a hurry for some reason.

Winter Finch

Lunch Time

Down Time

Endangered Species

I painted this beautiful creature as a tribute to those magnificent animals prowling the ice in the northern hemisphere. They are indeed endangered as their icy hunting grounds diminish as a result of global warming.
