Peeling Paint


"Peeling Paint"
About This Painting:
This painting is mostly a palette knife painting. I started it as an abstract, but as it reminded of paint peeling off of wood I added some detail lines for wood grain and cracks in the paint. Just wanted to build up the contrast of smooth wood and rough texture.
Thanks for looking!
Ready to frame.

Fierce Beauty, American Lion


"Fierce Beauty"
About This Painting:
I was excited about doing all the fur up close with lots of texture. That was my original inspiration. In the photos I took of this Florida panther, the eyes were in shadow and hardly showed up. I love painting eyes, so I couldn't resist and really played them up here. No matter where you go in the room they are looking straight at you!

The painting continues on the sides, no need for framing.

Media: acrylic on gallery wrap canvas
Size: 20 in X 20 in (50.8 cm X 50.8 cm)
Price: $2,500.00 USD

Sweet Summer Memories


"Sweet Summer Memories"

About This Painting:
After painting this little landscape I just couldn't resist adding the tire-swing in remembrance of all the fun at many different swimming holes with a rope or a tire swing over the water! usually it was up on a higher hill than this. I remember a group of kids pushing each other, and 2 or 3 trying to jump on the swing at the same time! Someone usually got pushed in or fell off.
Ready to frame.

Letting Go, palette knife abstract


"Letting Go"

About This Painting:

This palette knife painting started as a color study. It soon became a metaphor for inner struggles. I sensed the pull in my soul to hang onto things that people have done and said that hurt me, and I felt the release when I let go and forgave them. I am learning to do this right away, and not let it build over time.

This abstract painting is symbolic in many ways. The movement of the paint represents moving on, getting free from things that keep us from joy. The red and orange colors are for anger and heat, and the dark purple and black are for spiritual death that we find in unforgiveness. The white is the way of escape that Father God is always faithful to provide.

The cool colors at the bottom are the streams of refreshing we find in letting go.


By forgiving others, even when they do not ask for it, we can let go of offenses and not become resentful, which only hurts us, not them.
