This oil painting of a Swan has a lush, enveloping softness, which is rendered as a mass of shimmering violet plumage fluffing out its down in the warmth of the rays of the dawn. The diagonal golden streams of light, along with the clustered flowers add warmth and theatrical contrast to the cool feathered surface.

The Oil painting has a calm, ornamental character, with rhythmic linework suggesting wind, water, and marshy grasses in motion. The subdued field and metallic-toned birds create a gentle contrast between serenity and surface energy. I so love the metallic simplicity of the siblings on their perch.

Experience this piece, which stands bold and powerful in a memories vision. The work presents a romantic, luminous floral image with a bold rose set against a glowing gold field.

The contrast between the dense bloom and the airy branching filler flowers gives it a pleasing sense of both weight and delicacy. My yearly rose gardens open a plethora of inspiration to be captured for longer that a single season.

These paintings are a celebration of color and light. A winding garden path invites you into a peaceful landscape where vibrant blooms of purple, gold, and white, which flourish beneath towering evergreens and graceful willow trees. Rich layers of color and expressive brushwork capture the beauty of a quiet garden at the height of its bloom, while the distant forest and luminous sky create depth and serenity.

This is a Sill-Life Oil painting  of my grandmother's Frankoma tea pot, along with my half-head planter pot, which together has a moody, intimate atmosphere  

The cool teapot, balancing the soft foliage and powdery central hiding burst of grays, is a layered arrangement, which gives the scene a dreamlike quality that feels both domestic and slightly surreal.

While in San Fransisco, sitting on an area along the bay, I saw the sweetest interaction between the feral kitty-cat and multiple passers-by.  The story is both  special and detailed.  

This was a moment in time that was caught in my sketch, which I followed by watercolor.  The singular strength of the affectionate cat...on its terms of course...also included its dependence on the community that (as I found out the next day while on my flight home) have a rotation of individuals who feed and care for them.  If we ever meet, I will share the full story.

Watercolor pencils were used to achieve this vibrant peacock portrait.  

Delicate line-work, celebrates to timeless glory of the Peacock with it's train in full spread.  

My mother as had Peacocks in her yard and  on her acreage for many years.  

They are greatly admired by our family.
