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.

Nubbin's Gator, Plein Air, Impressionism

"Nubbin's Gator"


This gator is one of about five that live around Nubbin's Slough. He (or she?) is very large, at least 12 feet. He came out of the water and took a large fish up on shore and tossed it up in the air to align it and swallowed it whole! Then a little later he swam very quickly to the shore and caught a large bird before it could get away! I was stunned that the bird didn't see him. Scary!
I tried to show part of his tail in the water as he kept surfacing and you could see it -- often all you see is the head.

8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on canvas board
$350.00

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, Impressionism Beach, Daily Painting

"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.
