Hurricane Michael and the Panhandle




All of these paintings were painted around Apalachicola, Florida and Port St. Joe. This area hosts a yearly artist convention and artists from around the US attend. Its a beautiful, non-touristy area of Florida- thats why artists love it.  It just took some heavy damage from Hurricane Michael and hoping the people and the community can recover soon.

Green Fields-Big Ones!


I'm still working on these. They will be at Charlotte Fine Art Gallery for a May, 2018,  flower themed show. The top one is 36x36 and the bottom one is 22x28. I painted them both very quickly- in a day and half. Sometimes deadlines make me really work fast!

Wando River, Daniel Island, South Carolina

                I painted this 11x14 last week in Daniel Island, SC. This is a suburb of Charleston. My husband Dave has a new job here and I came along for a few days. The scenery was gorgeous. I did a few more paintings, and once I touch them up I'll post them. I think this one is the best of the four that I painted.

English Countryside

                   Painted this 11x14 plein air painting last fall when in London, England and surrounding area. I finally got around to touching it up a bit. It was a very cold day and the ground was so boggy and soggy that I  literally sunk about  four inches into the ground while painting it.  My feet and hands were freezing. I have some great countryside photos and plan to paint some more English countryside paintings soon.

Lemons, Lemons and more Lemons!



Enjoyed painting these. I have a new admiration for lemons.  Lemons are much harder to paint than oranges- the yellow color variations can be tricky-  warm and cool in the same piece of fruit and it takes some practice to get it right! The top two are 8x10 and the bottom one ( sold) is 6x8 inches.
