This is a tribute to my Grandmother and the summers I spent with her in the Rockies. She gave me the most treasured memories of my turbulent childhood. This painting is all about childhood memories and being caught up in daydreams.

Discover, vases and fruit

"Discover"
16 x 20 inches
Acrylic on canvas
$900.00

This is an older painting. I used to do everything realistically. Now I am open to many different forms of expression. As I created this still life, I found a hidden world of distorted reflections on the vases. I sat at a lower than normal view-point to give the feeling of a child looking up into the reflections. Loved pushing all the strong colors.

Nubbin's Morning, Plien Air Painting

"Nubbin' s Morning"
8x10 inches
Acrylic on canvas board
$500.00
Got to go out to Nubbin's Slough again early this morning, it is one of those places I could go to every day and find something new and interesting to paint. I just have to make myself get out of bed early-- before it is so unbelievably hot! I did this painting alla prima (all at once), before 7:45! I did another one also this morning, and I will try to post it tomorrow.

"Sanibel Island"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on canvas board

My son lives in Fort Myers, it is on the west coast of Florida. This beach was pretty good for finding seashells after a storm went by. I was taken by the bright colors even in the shadows.

Morning's Catch, Plein Air, Daily Painting

"Morning's Catch"
8x10 inches
(ready to frame)
Acrylic on canvas board
$350.00

This is off to the right at the Nubbin's Slough lock. The herons and egrets were catching all kinds of fish! One of them couldn't swallow a big one, he just kept trying to put his head higher until he finally got it down-- whole!
The water used to come up and splash on the rocks in the foreground . . .

Nubbin's Slough, Plein Air, Impressionism Landscape

"Nubbin's Slough"
8 x10 inches
(ready to frame)
Acrylic on canvas board
$675.00
This is just down the road from my house. I hope to do a whole series of this area. There isn't a lot of shade, so I went out around 7:00 this morning before it got too hot. The water is still very low even though we have been getting some rain off and on. Every bit of the land shown here was under water in January.
At least this part of Lake Okeechobee isn't being dredged. Some places are digging out the black muck so the lake will come back healthier when the water levels rise again.

Guam, Impressionism Landscape

" Teenage Memories (Guam, USA)"
12 x 16 inches
Acrylic on canvas panel
Not for Sale

This is done completely by memory. I graduated from High School on the island of Guam. The thing I remember most was the dramatic sky. We had spectacular sunsets almost every night. The reef lined most of the island and the waves would break on the jagged rocks. I painted the ocean at low tide here to show the rocks.
