Breezy Blue,Impressionism Wildlife, Heron

"Breezy Blue"
8.5 x 4 inches
Acrylic on Watercolor Paper
Not Available

I like the tension: feels like the great blue heron is about to take off because he is looking away and placed near the edge of the painting. This is something Robert Bateman does quite often in his work, to add more interest and movement.
This is a wonderful 'off-size,' which is perfect for a hard to fill space on a wall. However, I like to remind my clients when purchasing these off-size originals that they usually have to be custom framed.

Sunny Days, Impressionism Flowers,Daily Painting

"Sunny Days"
9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on gessoed board
SOLD

I love the almost abstract feel to this little painting. I wanted to make one of the dandelions look like a kid's sun in the corner of their picture. Even my high school students wanted to paint the sun in the corner of their pictures! It drove me crazy trying to explain why that isn't such a good idea: on top of a green sky when they added the blue near the yellow sun, we had very silly cartoon looking suns in the corner of a very nice landscape! So here is to my kids! Smile.

Soul Searching, Abstract, Daily Painting

"Soul Searching"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on canvas board
NOT AVAILABLE

Just wanted to paint an abstract. I believe we are all on a journey, and we often get caught on paths that mislead us.  But we can also seek out the truth and intentionally throw out the negative thoughts and habits that beset us. The truth is found when we really seek it.

Rough Water, Wildlife, Realism, Pelican

"Rough Water (Pelican)"
11 x 14 inches
Acrylic on hardboard
SOLD

I created this painting a few years ago-- from some photos I took at the Fort Pierce inlet. It began as a palette knife painting. But then I got into the brush work applied over the cool textures that the knife made. I love the hard rocks against the feathers, and all of that against the moving water. I wanted to make all those contrasts stand out. This is one of those paintings that I just got carried away with and kept adding more and more detail.

Send Your Rain, Impressionism Landscape

"Send Your Rain"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on hardboard
SOLD

What an answer to prayer to see these storms coming everyday now! The water level is up 10" at Lake Okeechobee!
These tall dead trees against the foreboding sky really caught my attention. I wanted to catch that feeling of knowing you are about to get soaked if you don't find shelter!

Nubbin's Shore, Plein Air Painting

"Nubbin's Shore"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on canvas board
$450.00

I think this Nubbin's Slough area appeals me for two reasons: first, we have never had a shore line here before, just water splashing up on rocks; second, I know we may never see this shore line again when the drought is over. We have had a little rain here and there, but it has only brought the water up a few inches.
