This Chair is Taken
This Chair is Taken

8 x 10” oil on board

The highest-energy member of the family, Lucy is all about the joy of living. When she finally melts into her favorite chair, all four feet must be touching. This composition conveys her utter contentment and trust that no one would even think of asking her to move. We love her that much.

Beach Bums
Beach Bums

18 x 24”

Oil on Canvas

Naples, Florida – even as the evening air cools the Florida gulf, children can’t resist dancing in the lapping waves while the sun slowly sets. These are my grandchildren, and they bring back memories of picnics on that very same beach when my children were small, and it’s like time stopped. Nothing has changed. Eternal as the pull of the ocean, I have my babies back once more!

The Mountain Climber
The Mountain Climber

I love the composition of this painting because in breaking the rules, it tells a story. The climber on the left, facing away from the scene, clearly has somewhere to go. The dramatic landscape shows heights already scaled, and the reflection in his goggles indicates the journey yet ahead. The unworldly sun flare denotes a rare and precious moment captured in time. This determined climber seems to have only paused a second for the camera, before continuing ever higher on his quest.

In the hills of Southwest Ireland a mountain stream spills into the bay that leads out to the sea, where a small fishing boat is tucked away waiting for its captain - oh the stories it could tell!

There is something fascinating about a tribe of crows, the way they travel together, communicate and stick up for each other.

Am I Blue
Am I Blue

9 x 7”

Oil on Canvas

Shadow isn’t only blue from the light coming in the window, he is blue because he’s watching me cook dinner from the chair by the counter, and he knows he’s not allowed up any further. I love how this composition leads with the paw that is stretched forward emphasizing his yearning to get closer.

Simple Twist of Fate
Simple Twist of Fate

16 x 20”

Oil on Canvas

At a big turning point in my life, I sought comfort camping alone in the forests of Northern Wisconsin, and was taken by the wild grape vines. They touched me so, I hazarded a painting for the first time in over 10 years.

Loonar Eclipse
Loonar Eclipse

The ancient loon is wise as the moon, and I love listening to their calls in the great Northwoods of Wisconsin. This was a play on different colored skies and moons illuminating the loons!

Painting in Ireland is especially magical, because Ireland just is. Here I was painting with a master teacher, and learned how to find beauty in imperfect shapes, and perfect brush strokes.

30 x 40”

Oil on Canvas

When our dear friend Bill finally retired in his 80’s, he loved to roam the hills of Northern Oregon with his old hunting buddy, Rip. To me this “forever landscape” evokes the connection between the here-and-now and eternity.

I love the classical lighting in this simple still life, and the way the wet over dry brushwork on the lemons and limes brings out their texture. A nice little kitchen painting.
