Out Front, yellow hibiscus


"Out Front"

I did this a few days ago but had so many problems with my computer that I didn't get to post it.....Hopefully, things will get back on track now...
This flower grows on a very tall bush out in front of my house, I really enjoy it! Mostly the background leaves and interesting shapes caught my eye, along with the value contrasts. Might try this one in an abstract painting...

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.
Ready to frame.

Size: 6 in X 6 in (15.2 cm X 15.2 cm)
Price: $250 USD

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.....

Media: acrylic on canvas
Size: 16 x 20 inches

This painting is sold

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.


  • Original  Plein Air Painting
  • Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas 
  • Sides are painted, framing is optional
  • 10 in x 10 in (25.4 cm X 25.4 cm)

Little Stream, landscape with wildlife, alligator and heron

"Little Stream"

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!

I wanted a little more realism also, so I repainted some of the trees and water.

Ready to frame.

Size: 12 in X 9 in (30.5 cm X 22.9 cm)

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.

Ready to frame.
