Majestic Morning


SOLD
24 x 18 Oil on canvas
Painted in 2008

My sister is opening a healing resort in Hawaii and volunteered to hang some of my paintings. This is the fourth in the series. Although I have only visited the island once, the abundance of flowers overwhelmed me more than any of the other natural beauty.

I had such fun learning how to paint water to “flow”. My nephew stood in the river and photographed this for me. I love the way the fog envelopes the background hills.

A Glimpse of the Mountains

16 x 20 oil on canvas

Painted in 2007

Mountains, mountains, mountains. We are surrounded by mountains here in Central Oregon and no matter which direction I face, I can see them.







Serene Copse
Framed


$1828.00 + shipping
24 x 18 Oil on canvas

Here in Central Oregon, we are surrounded by a variety of trees and we seem to look past them to the distant, spectacular vistas. After painting many mountain views and having the trees as secondary focal points, I thought it was time to give the trees their due.

This is one of my favorite sheds, once again as my hands took over, the scene seemed to change and trees appeared in the background. I love the way the colors came out and the light and shadows make me happy.




Winter Bridge

Shadows are such fun to play with. I love the difference between the bright sunshine on the snow and the deep shadows cast by the trees.

Happy Chickens



SOLD


20 x 16 acrylic on canvas

These chickens appeared as s surprise to me on this canvas. Once again it seems my hands and heart had a different focal point for this painting. My head had picked out the cows peaking from the barn. Oh well, what does my head know?




Our Family Farm



SOLD


24 x 18 Acrylic on canvas



Painted in 2007

I grew up on a small family farm in Kansas and have such a tie to the land. I seemed to be filled up with old barns and sheds, painting a glimpse of a life gone by. This is my rendition of our family farm.

Because of their profusion of growth, Hollyhocks were planted all over the small family farms. Some were planted to hide waste areas, some were planted just for their beauty.

Shades of Fall


Framed

This is a very serene farm tucked into the forest in Washington. I love it when the builders positioned the barns to hide in the trees.
