Window In The Woods


Click Here To Buy It Now - $300, oil on gessobord, 9x12 inches

While taking a walk at a nature center near our home last fall, I paused when seeing this little opening through the trees that allowed a view of the meadow beyond.  It was just a little glimpse of the beauty beyond but thats the way nature is, always calling me to come see what might be around the next bend or break in the woods.  

Due to the limitations and inconsistencies of various display monitors, the colors you see on your screen may not be a totally accurate reproduction of the actual painting but I work to get the best likeness possible.

Autumn Trio


Click Here To Buy It Now - $100, oil on gessobord, 6x6 inches

I finally did a pumpkin painting for the fall!  I really wanted to paint this trio again but ran out of time.  These blue green pumpkins still intrigue me with their color and lovely bumpy irregular form.  It took me awhile to post, so this painting is already dry and ready to ship if interested.  Happy Thanksgiving!

"Once Upon A Time" Art Journal




Another mixed media art journal I completed this fall as a gift.  The backgrounds are all hand painted using acrylics and stamping.  I had fun incorporating old family photos and working some of them into color pages.  Every time I create an art journal new ideas emerge, I'm exploring more outside the box and growing.  I need to incorporate this freedom into my oil paintings.  Why do I feel so restricted when painting in oils?  It's time to start experimenting and maybe start using acrylics and oils together.  Hmmmm, another road to explore.
