Morning Ritual


I love it when the weather is nice enough for me to go out on the back porch for my morning coffee and Bible reading. That doesn't happen often around here. Coffee + humidity + heat = :0/

P.R.A.Y.

This commission is actually 4 separate 18"x18" gallery wrapped canvases which were painted to hang horizontally on a dining room wall that needed a little color. I fooled myself into thinking that they would be easier to execute because they were more design-like than realistic - not so! But boy, were these little angels fun.

Road To A Villa



I paint in a group of people in which there is a lady who has been painting for quite awhile and I think I could pick out her paintings from a mile away. Artists as a whole love for someone to say that about their work. Her personal style is established and she is comfortable with it. I'm a bit envious. You can tell by my work that I am still experimenting and exploring different things and figuring out who I am as a painter. There are so many roads to go down, I can hardly pick just one. Not yet, anyway.

Delicate Bloom

When I cut this rose blossom from my garden, it's petals were already loosening and falling out. I hated to toss it, because it was so full and delicate. I decided to do an impromptu still life with a pear from the kitchen and laid it on its side so more petals wouldn't fall out.

(Would anyone like to help me come up with a title? I guess I used up all my creativity painting it. Email or comment your suggestions and I'll pick the first one that strikes my fancy). Update - thanks for all the suggestions, you didn't make it easy for me to choose with all your great ideas!
