Birds always fascinate me, their beauty, personalities, building their nests

and taking care of their babies. I love watching them as they group together 

and are synchronized when flying. What is truly amazing to me is all that God has 

created just for us.

Thank You

Looking out from my window as I watch many small birds 

flocking to the bird feeder, are constantly keeping an

eye on everything.

   The small ones are watching out for the bigger birds, like the crows

and jays and are ready to flee in a heartbeat.

They don't mind eating with the squirrels or doves when

food drops to the ground.

I am obsessing on geraniums again, why, I don't know. I guess that they just

have that certain style that catches my eye.

 .

I have been so busy lately with commissions, some of the commissions will be used 

just for prints and will be sent off to Finland. I will be putting the originals for sale

on DPW. probably in a month or two.

  I also got a call today to do a painting for a book cover, that

is really exciting! 

Geranium Trio oil 8x10

 My first choice is to paint from life, as these were but sometimes the flowers 

aren't in bloom so I go to my reference photos or from memory. Flowers come and go but

a flower painted is a living moment in time that stay. 

Pitcher and Grapes oil 8x10

This painting was painted from life. I started out with a light background, it

seemed to wash out the pitcher and glass, so changing it to a darker background

I was able to capture the highlights from the glass and have the pitcher stand out more. I really

loved how the shadow from the glass rolled across the pitcher and a wonderful cast of color.

Each brushstroke came from within my mind. I started out with the 

bed and kept on going. I wanted to make sure the light was in 

perspective and checked my living room window to see how the 

light hit the wall. It reminds me of a quite place with a touch of light.

other artists, we each paint in a different mediums, I will be painting in oils.  I have a lot

A painting I did of a dinning table that is set for an early supper. I painted this from Pioneer Farm Museum. This old cabin was built in the eighteen hundreds along with all their belongings. I can picture the family after a hard days work, tending the farm animals, tilling the land, washing 

the clothes and so on, sitting down to this table with gratitude in their hearts.
