The Ghost, Barn,Birds, Impressionism Landscape

"The Ghost"
9 x12 inches

Acrylic on gessoed board

Not Available

This is one I did in November 2006. I have added water and birds, and more foliage. I struggled with leaving as it was, because it really captured the essence of the memory I had of this old barn. But I kept seeing water and birds making it a stronger composition. Making it better won out over keeping the essence of the memory. Now it reminds me of a barn I saw near a pond recently.

Crepe Myrtle, Watercolor, Plein Air

Crepe Myrtle Study

9 x 12 inches

Watercolor
$500.00

Went out at sunset and rushed through this splash of color! I have wanted to paint these for quite sometime, but they are on the side of the house that rarely gets sun. So I had to do them quickly. I like the shadows on the house, and the loose painterly quality.

Iris Study, Watercolor, Daily Painting

Iris Study

9 x 12 inches

Watercolor

Sold

This is a demo I did for an art lesson. I plan to strengthen the grass and stem, as they don't seem quite finished yet. But I liked the colors and the effects of watercolor in the background. This is not completely an original, the lesson came out of a book. I did change the composition some, but most of my demonstrations come from books.

Old Timer, Grizzly, Wildlife Impressionism

"Old Timer"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

NOT AVAILABLE

It's all about the texture and the color, not the subject! I used the paint very thick and and love the way the light hits this grizzly bear. I painted this from one of my photos. He was at a zoo, but I changed the back ground to a place in Montana. We had lots of bears out there, and what an exciting thing to see them in the wild!

Pretty in Pink, Floral Impressionism

"Pretty in Pink"

9 x 12 inches

Acrlic on canvas board
Ready to frame
$650.00 plus shipping

I was interested in the different shades of pink against all that green! It was a fun, fast, thick-paint kind of day. My goal was to do it alla prima, but I ended up going back this morning and touching up a couple of places that didn't agree with me.

Heaven's Touch, seascape, horse and girl, 30 x 40

"Heaven's Touch"

30 x 40 inches

Acrylic on Gallery wrap canvas

(sides are painted)

$5,000.00

Detail:

I have been working on this painting off and on for almost a year now. It is all about contrasts and texture, as far as the technical aspects go.

This painting is far reaching too. Emotionally we all have things that need healing. Sometimes a sunrise or a sunset, a cup of coffee with a friend, or a moment of silence can touch us deeper than anything else at that time. This painting combines some of those ideas: dreams I have had, horses I have ridden, prayers cried out from the depth of my soul in my most turbulent times. Always God reaches out and heals the hurt a little more.

Thanks for stopping by!

Meek and Powerful, Stallion, Abstract, Realism

"Meek and Powerful"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on canvas board

$575.00

unique custom frame

I like the contrast between the abstract background with the realistic stallion. A friend of mine breeds paints, This is one of her studs. Some of her horses have one or even two blue eyes.

Meekness is not the same as weakness. This stallion willingly submits his energy and power to his master. All of that is harnessed and used for remarkable feats. It is the same for living a Christian life.

Singing the Blues, Plein Air Painting

"Singing the Blues"

(Plumbagos)

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on  hardboard

I have always felt like flowers sing their own silent song. Artists also sing silent songs. We pour out our colors and our soul for others to embrace or reject. We do not recieve the fame of singers and actors, yet we keep singing.

Enjoy!

While zooming in, I noticed how the light made these flowers look like squiggly blobs of glorious color, so I exaggerated the effect and had a blast with all that thick paint. I added the butterflies for contrast. This is one for EBSQ Art-- August Flower of the Month contest.
