Crossing Over, stone bridge, palette knife painting

"Crossing Over"
About This Painting:

This began as a lesson for my students in Fort Pierce a few months ago. It has sat around, unfinished, waiting for me to "touch it up." Well, I have been doing a lot more palette knife paintings lately, so I had to repaint the whole thing to get the affect I wanted. But it really does make great textures for the stones. The water was just a given, always love the way the palette knife adds sparkle to water.

I titled this painting "Crossing Over" to give it a spiritual connotation: crossing over a difficult time, letting go of past hurts, forgiving a life long grudge, accepting a new job, finding hope and joy again, or even leaving this earthly tent for our true home . . . Whatever you want it to mean.....
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Endless Peace, palette knife angel

"Endless Peace"

This little painting is part of a series of knife paintings I am experimenting with. It started with blobs of color straight from the tube. I began to exaggerate the swirl and then decided to add the angel.

 I just love the textures and the way the knife gives an abstract feel to the whole thing. It is purely a selfish creation on my part. I got frustrated with a couple of other paintings that are not coming together yet and did this one as a way to cheer myself up and re-gather my composure. The angel reminds me to let things go and be patient.

Thanks for looking!

About This Painting:
Palette knife painting. This is a larger version of the first one I did of this scene. I painted this one with with more blues instead of purples.

Life Line, reworked, water, palette knife painting

"Life Line"
About This Painting:
The title just refers to water being a major source of life for us. I was also thinking that the view point here could be of someone who needed some help.....
Wanted to strengthen some of the shadows and add rocks. I have always liked the action in this painting, but I was making another one to create a set, and needed to make them work together better. I will post it later.
I have been sick for almost a week, along with my husband, so it has not been fun at my house lately!!!!! I am way behind on my painting projects.....thank goodness I do not have any deadlines right now!

Wild Iris, flower study

"Wild Iris"


About This Painting:
Saw this Iris out at the Adams Ranch a couple of weeks ago. The water behind it was covered in bright yellow-green algae, with some of the dark water showing through here and there. So after 3 tries to capture all those bright colors (and not liking the way the flower just disappeared), I decided to use the dark water, which sets it off nicely.

Lead Me Home, horses in their first snow

"Lead Me Home"
About This Painting:
These Florida horses now live in Georgia, snow is not something they are used too!
This painting is for Diane Cletzer. Her horses are in their twenties now, so I am sure this was quite an ordeal for them! They have been together all their lives, so this painting kind of takes on a spiritual meaning if you think of home as being heaven.....

Spoonbill, plein air landscape

"Spoonbill"

About This Painting: Went out to the Adams Ranch for an annual artist's day paint out. This is one of the many natural springs that flow through the ranch. The water is clear and very turquoise. this photo doesn't pick up the colors in the painting very well, but the blues are a little more of a greenish hue.

I added the spoonbill when I got home, I had seen it flying overhead while out painting, way too cool! (Spoonbills have a shorter neck than flamingos, and they range from white and soft light pinks to dark pinks, almost a red color, and sometimes they have yellow accents too. Very strange-looking bird, with a flat duck-like bill. Very pretty colors though!)

The painting continues on the sides which are close to 2 inches thick, so framing is optional.

Little Stream, landscape with wildlife, alligator and heron

About This Painting: Added the wildlife to this older painting after I saw this gator swimming beside our boat down in the Everglades a few months ago. That was the closest I have ever been to a gator!

Before the Rain, swamp landscape with eagle

"Before the Rain"

About This Painting:
Plein air painting, Lori McNamara and I got rained out. Some of the painting was distorted slightly, but most of it held up with the rain water all over it. I repainted parts of it and finished it at home. The eagle was off to the right of this area. Lori got a great picture of him, it is posted on her blog. I moved him to the left so I could include him in my painting.

Red-violet Orchids, exotic floral

"Red-violet Orchids"

About This Painting: One of my husband's new plants is in full bloom. I just love the vibrant colors! Couldn't resist painting it up close.

I am working on a few larger paintings, so these small gems are nice to break it up and get something finished. I thought I would stop doing my small paintings for the most part, but I must be addicted to them. Once I decided to do more large paintings and stop doing these small ones, it was like saying you're on a diet and then eating everything you shouldn't!

Florida Sunshine, viceroy butterfly

"Florida Sunshine"


About This Painting:
Painted this from some photos I took down at the lake. The fruit was actually a load of grapefruits that a truck had lost on the side of the road. This butterfly was drinking nectar from one of the grapefruits that was busted open. It would flutter around and then come back for another taste. I was truly taken by the strong sunlight and all the bright warm colors!
Happy Easter!

I Once Was Lost, piglet and calf

"I Once Was Lost"


About This Painting:
I saw this little wild hog following the calf around again and again, even though the mother cow kept chasing the piglet off.  The piglet would squeal and run away and then sneak back... It cracked me up!

Grandma's Touch, mountain landscape with flowers

"Grandma's Touch"

About This Painting:
This actually began as a demo, then later I changed the color scheme and added more flowers and trees.... It reminds me of my grandmother's rock gardens in Montana. She loved working in her gardens. Some had flowers of every kind, and others had vegetables and strawberries. My fondest memories of her are when she taught me how to thin out the carrots, and to taste the difference in food you grew yourself compared to what we bought at the store.
Thanks for looking!
