Double Hibiscus, tropical flower

"Double Hibiscus"

About This Painting:
These grow near my drive way. Took lots of pictures of them to paint from. I am very interested in all the ruffly edges, and the many shades of red, so that is what I wanted to accent and focus on. I also like the way the leaves turned out!

Sunny Side Up, abstract hillside landscape

"Sunny Side Up"

About This Painting:
Love doing these little palette knife paintings. They have an abstract look to them, and lots of thick bold color. I was trying to capture that feeling of energy and light. At first it was going to be just colors and shapes, but then I started seeing rocks and liked the angles of the darks and lights.

Ready to frame.

Wipe Out, abstract wave

"Wipe Out"

About This Painting:
A small palette knife painting. I was thinking about my first time swimming in the ocean, and remembering when the waves in Hawaii won the fight to keep my body going in the right direction! My little boogie board had cut my belly open and I felt like I had been spinning in a washing machine! I was 13 years old. My older brother fell out laughing at me when I finally found the beach and tried to catch my breath......

Flame Tree, landscape with royal poinciana tree


Flame Tree

About This Painting:
Another demo from a lesson I taught a few weeks ago. We used a few of the Highwaymen paintings to come up with our own. I changed the lighting and the background, added a little path too.

Demo paintings are reduced in price because they are usually painted with student grade materials. This one is painted with professional grade paint on a canvas panel, which is not as durable as hardboard or stretched canvas.

Thanks for looking!

Inside Out, colorful abstract

"Inside Out"

About This Painting:
Inner space, outer space? Sunset, sunrise? This nonrepresentational painting can be anything you want it to be.

For me it is symbolic for mixed emotions. They get all tangled up and twisted inside me until I am exhausted. I love deeply, so I hurt deeply. I don't want to be numb and uncaring, so I have to accept the anguish with the joy. Sometimes I just have to get it out, and this time it all swirled together in a very fulfilling expression of my opposing feelings.

Rollin Through, mountain landscape with barn

"Rollin' Through"

About This Painting:
This is an older painting that I started as a demo last year, but I never finished it until now. I love the clouds rolling up the mountain sides because I remember watching them do that when I was 12 and I lived in Montana with my Grandma Willi. This old road reminds me of some of the old mountain roads my friends and I rode horses on up in the Rockies. We would go exploring and often find an old abandoned barn, usually in much worse shape than this one!

Little River Ranch, cloudy landscape with pond


"Little River Ranch"

About This Painting:
I painted this from pictures I took of this pond out at the Little River Ranch, which is near the Kissimme River. A friend of mine owns a hunting camp out there. It is so far out in the country that I thought I would never find it! I went last week and was just stunned at all the old grandfather oaks. I hope to do a series of paintings from this ranch, hopefully some from plien air as well.

R.C.'s Poncho, horse portrait


"R.C.'s Poncho"


About This Painting:
R.C. was killed last year in a car accident. He was just 21 years old. This is his horse, Poncho.

R.C. was a guide for hunters at an exotic wildlife ranch, and Poncho was his partner. Poncho stood in the front, near the coffin, during the whole funeral service, which was held in the large hanger at the ranch. There was standing room only with over 500 chairs.

R.C. went to school with my son, Kyle, and was an outstanding student His smile and encouragement touched everyone he encountered. He knew no strangers and went out of his way to make anyone feel accepted. He is greatly missed.
