Looking closely - can you see something underneath?

The iridescent yellow in this piece catches your eye.

It’s true if you watch - she has a wiggle when she walks. You know you want to watch her walk away.

Channeling Turner? Possible, as he is one of my favorite artist from long ago.

A PBS special covered conversion camps; attempts to crush a young person’s life without appreciating all that exists only exists because it is a natural option in nature. I became furious expressing my feelings in this piece. No mouth - just be quiet - that’s not normal or natural.

Don’t hide your uniqueness and beauty, go ahead, reach out from your cozy place.

Life emerges ascending into the world open and ready to be imprinted by the experiences.

You can feel the breeze from the bright spring day!

This was fun to paint. The many layers present as shadows behind a mist and serve to highlight the enamel color spots that glisten in light.

Devi'l’s Cove south of Yachats, Oregon is a spectacular meeting of ocean and cave embedded in the rock lined shore. When I was there I leaned over as far as possible, what an incredible site and feeling.

Yes - you can!

The sultry movement, the sax, guitar, the sound. . . the colors are cool and smooth. Yes, music is a must while painting. . .

This piece was inspired by a trip to Mendocino, CA where the night sky was so intense the lights from the small village were insignificant compared to nature’s show.

There were six girls in my family and three boys. My sister, Lorraine, loves horses - she loves all animals. After a trip visiting her, this image was persistent and landed on my canvas. Can you hear the hoof beat?

The image of the man’s face is distinct and emerged demanding to be predominant in this piece. Our eyes may be looking straight ahead, but our thoughts, powerful and often willful, like the image, demand our attention.

Red oxide, gold, copper, bronze and umber are rich colors and deserve texture - so be it! This piece looks dimensional and the color seems to permeate the canvas behind a veil of texture and gloss.
