Hay Bales - SOLD

Hay Bales 11.5" x 12" Oil on Canvas mounted on board Sold at $40.00 plus shipping. The early spring colors were just lovely today, and there was just something so appealing about these haybales all sleeping peacefully in the sunshine. Thanks for looking.

Hilltop Silo - SOLD

Hilltop Silo 12" x 12" Oil on Canvas mounted on board Sold at $40.00 plus shipping. My favorite silo. I am trying not to fret over juicy brushstrokes, just lay them down and let them be, without fussing. This one comes closer to the effect. Thanks for looking.

Forsythia in Bloom

Forsythia in Bloom 12" x 14" Oil on Canvas mounted to board Available at $45.00 plus shipping. It was a sparkling day today, despite a chilly wind. Back to my new favorite old farm, and found a nice bunch of forsythia in bloom, and this enormous old pine tree. The abandoned house is one of those telescoping kind, part brick and part clapboard. Very cool. There is fresh spring green everywhere. Thanks for looking.

Field in Spring Green- SOLD

Field in Spring Green

Oil on Canvas mounted on board

11.5" x 12"

Sold at $35.00 plus shipping.

At the beginning of Wauwinet Road is a wonderfully picturesque abandoned farm, with barn, silo and big lovely fields (there were deer grazing there today), and a wonderful old deserted red farmhouse, with curtains still in it's windows. I'll have lots of fun painting there. Today was all about the young greens of spring, with an overcast sky. Beautiful! Thanks for looking.

Paphiopedilum Orchid - SOLD

Paphiopedilum Orchid, with detail shown Watercolor on Fabriano Artistico Image size 16" x 20" Paper size 22" x 29" Full Sheet SOLD at $50.00 plus $20.00 shipping (oversized for mail) This watercolor was started during a botanical orchid painting workshop given by JEAN BRITON JAECKS at the National Conservatory in downtown DC (the glass one next to the Capitol.) We each had an orchid to work from, and it was superb to paint and then eat lunch amidest thousands of orchids; since the workshop was in conjunction with the January orchid show. The image is done on a full sheet of paper, and can be cropped to your specs by your framer. Thanks for looking.

Sienna irises - SOLD

Sienna Irises Oil on Clay board 11" x 14" Sold at $60.00 plus shipping. I had some clayboard (intended for watercolors) left over, and actually started this as a watercolor. Blech. So decided to try using oils on the clayboard. Not advised. I had to use a lot of oil and medium to get the paint to flow at all, since the clay is designed to absorb moisture. Now that it's done though, I like the way it turned out. Thanks for looking.

Lavender Clouds - SOLD

Lavender Clouds Oil on Canvas mounted on board 10.5" x 15" Sold at $45.00 plus shipping. Working from my photos of the hillside with silo, I did a cloud study today. Lots of color freedon, lavender clouds, and orange field grass. But this one was really fun to do. Thanks for looking.

Daffodils on Watercolor Canvas - SOLD

Daffodils on Canvas board Watercolors 11" x 14", Sold at $25.00 plus shipping. A second attempt at daffodils, done on watercolor canvas. I had taken a Tom Lynch workshop last year, and Tom is so enthusiastic about watercolor canvas that I bought some to try. It may be something that you need to try a few times before you "get it", but right now, it's not for me. Give me good watercolor paper, and let my canvas be happy with oils. If nobody wants this one, I'm going to wash it away and use the canvas for oils. If anyone likes it, it can be sprayed and framed without glass or matting. Thanks for looking.

Daffodils In Oil - SOLD

Daffodils in Oil 5.5" x 11.5" Oil on Canvas mounted on board Sold at $25.00 plus shipping. I tried daffodils twice today. This is the first, sitting in the wind, squinting to try to discern the color exactly of the shadows. Very tough. My canvas was also very coarse, so it was'nt easy to blend everything together. Maybe that's a good thing. Thanks for looking.
