Early last month my Rhododendrons were almost on their
way out. I cut this one off and painted it from life.
When living in California to grow a Rhode wasn't easy,
here in Washington they grow enormous. We have
quite a few of them in our yard, one that really stands out is
our yellow one.
They are so beautiful when their in bloom!

"Violets and Tea"
"Violets and Tea"
oil, 8x10"
I set this still life up finding objects to add to the violets in
the clay pot and came up with this composition. I always
love to paint the light and of course the shadows too!
I am so grateful for all of God's creation, it just amazes me.
I remember years ago when I first started to paint, I picked
a small flower and examined it carefully and was so
excited to see how each petal was perfectly placed in
perfect order.

"Good Morning"
"Good Morning"
oil, 10x8" Sold
What caught my eye to paint this painting of Henry
was the way he was positioned,
I liked how the composition formed a circle.
The position of Henry was confusing my mind at first while painting

The position of Henry was confusing my mind at first while painting
him, I really had to keep thinking of shapes, positive and
negative etc.. All and all I am very happy how it
turned out. He is so adorable!

"Painting Within"
"Painting Within"
oil, 10x8"
I set this still life up and decided to put a painting within a
painting. I wanted to have the painting to have
a more simple and fun look with the painting sitting
on the easel. It took awhile to figure out, I always second guess myself
so I just went for it and it felt right.

"The Greenhouse"
"The Greenhouse"
oil, 14x11" Sold

This in one of the properties that my friends and I stopped at while
participating in a garden tour. It's in a woodsy area with land
that's left natural. There were goats, chickens, peacocks and
more. While walking through the beautiful settings I came
across this greenhouse, it really struck me the way the light was
warm and subtle. The house on the property was built in the
early 1900's.

"To Paint the Flower"
"To Paint the Flower"
oil, 10x8"
I usually start my paintings with
a simple sketch and not real
detailed. There are times I am
not happy with the composition
and have to wipe areas out. So
I don't want to get to picky in
the beginning. I love the start of
a painting it always feels

"Lavenders in Tin"
"Lavenders in Tin"
oil, 10x8" Sold
I have been in the mood to paint tin cans lately, they are used
to can all sorts of food products but they are very fun and intriguing
to paint. I love the shiny silver of the can that reflects like a mirror causing
many values that surrounds it. Plus I love to paint flowers!
