Widow's Walk

Country Road

Another prairie scene.  I love painting the big skies you see only on the prairies.

Eddie the Cat

Eddie was a stray cat who adopted Jen's husband's family .  Eddie recently passed away; so I hope this painting does Eddie justice and brings back happy memories for the family.

Saskatchewan

A prairie scene from my past.

New Zealand mao-mao fish

 I spotted Brian Skerry's great photograph of these mao-mao fish in the National Geographic and he kindly gave me permission to paint it.  The colors of the fish against the greens on the reef are spectacular in the photograph.

Canyon Walk

A few years ago my husband and I travelled through five of the National Parks in the western United States.  This painting is of an amazing sight while hiking through one of the parks in Utah.

20" x 16"

Chrysanthemum in Green Vase

This little painting was done in class by the "wipe out" method.   It was lots of fun to do.                                   12" x 9"   

Pewter Pitcher and Oranges

The pewter pitcher, which is the subject of this still life painting, was a wedding gift to my husband's parents many years ago.  It has suffered a few scratches and dents over the years; these only give it more character and made ot much more interesting to paint.

 

Joanne

     This portrait was done at the request of the husband of a   friend of mine.  Her first reaction was that I had made her rather "spanish looking".  In any event, it was a fun portrait to do, and the fact that she is quite striking looking in real life made her all the more interesting to paint.    

 

My Sister

This painting was done from a photograph of my beautiful sister on her wedding day.   It's done in black and white and Torrit Grey.
