I am so impressed with the wonderful color show that Nature has to offer us. It seems that spring is bursting forth from this canvas. The trees may not be realistic replicas but I am pleased by the soft spring colors.

My husband often states that if an item doesn’t keep moving, I will paint on it. This is but one example – this is a piece of window screen that just had to have my English Cottage painted on it.

Garden Girl
Matted
$432.00 + shipping 12 x 9 acrylic on mat board
painted in 2005
Oh my garden! Living on the high plateau can be a challenge to gardening. We only have about 3 months of growing season, so I paint pretty flowers. They will last much longer.
I fell in love with painting in the fall of 2000. My friend had to drag me to the painting class. I always protested that I did not have an artistic bone in my body but something magical happened when I got that paintbrush in my hand. I have taken many painting classes since and continue to be in love with the art form.
I find that I tend to paint in a series of landscapes, usually painting two or three or perhaps 10 or 12 paintings of the same subject. Mostly I have painted old barns and buildings but am starting to expand into mountains, which I can see from my window and I am finding flowers flowing from my fingers. Most times I just sit back and watch what my hands have to paint and often it is not what my head thought I was going to work on.
