Red Cana Lily

I stopped the car to take a picture of these flowers when I saw them against the bright blue siding.

Holly Vase

My friend gave me this vase of flowers as a Christmas present. I told her to expect to see it again ...the following year as a Christmas card. This is it.

Danielle's Vase

My friend loaned me her beautiful vase so I could paint it. Thanks, Danielle.

Marley


My friend adopted Marley as a little puppy after she showed up one morning under Danielle's bedroom window.

Dancing Branches

I was attracted to the twists and turns of the branches in this tree. It looked happy where it was planted.

Pink Cyclamen

Cyclamen were my mom's favorite flower. I love drawing their shapes and painting their colors.

Patio Plants

I enjoyed drawing the silhouette of these various green leaves.

Crayons


Takes concentration...this art stuff.

Orange Glass Vase

I love these frilly white flowers. I thought they would look good in this orange vase on the orange scarf. My painting doesn't quite do justice to the intensity of the colors. But, the flowers always make me smile.

Finish Line

I painted this image for my marathon-running sister-in-law's birthday. You go girl!

"Evening Trees"




















I love trees. I like everything about them: I like the vivid colors, the music of the leaves, the scent. The pastel is not from this particular tree, but it's close.

"I Know the Answer"

An enthusiastic student.

Guardian Angel

My good friend had been in an automobile accident. We (many friends) were all thankful that the injuries were no worse than they were. SOMEBODY BIG was watching over her.

Get Well Card

I love mixed media. One gets to use all sorts of saved-up stuff. This included various colors of tissue paper and some other transparent, shiny, colorful paper.

Brother's Birthday Card

My brother is a professional photographer. He has taken wonderful pictures of various wild animals. I just thought I'd send him a painting of a beautiful bird in flight...or, more appropriately, getting ready for take- off or landing.
