I've used this image before, but wanted to paint it again. It just seemed perfect for the Easter weekend. Can't you almost feel the sunshine at the end of the road? Thanks for looking.

Breaking Clouds - SOLD
Breaking Clouds
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 20" x 20"
SOLD at $100.00 plus $15.00 shipping.
Back to the landscape today. This is a larger stretched canvas, but I just felt like having a roomy painting surface in front of me. Big brushes, space to move around. Here I was making an effort to use different grays, keep the colors subdued, to show a soft light. Thanks for looking.

Hyacinths Watercolor - SOLD
Hyacinth One - SOLD
Watercolor on 300 lb Richeson paper, 11" x 15" SOLD at $20.00 plus $5.00 shipping each
The smell of this small Easter plant is so incredible, it was nice during naptime to just sit and smell it. No studio painting today, since my daughter and I are doing "sincere cleaning" (as opposed to "need to clean" basis) for tomorrow's appraisal of the house. I'm not really happy with either one of these, but that's how it is with the watercolors, hit or miss. Thanks for looking.

Blood Orange Reflections - SOLD
Blood Orange Reflections
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10"
SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping.
Despite the fact that the color on these oranges is just wonderful, lining them up in various ways was just boring. Round, and more round. So I put them on a mirror , and much more interesting shapes and shadows. I still might try cutting one up, see what I can do with that. Thanks for looking.

This is the third in the series, and although I'm not yet tired of looking at these guys, I'll move on to something else tomorrow. I will do more irises soon, but for now, this little series is finished. Thanks for looking.

Iris Close Up - SOLD
Iris Close Up
Oil on Linen Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping.
I had all thsoe lovely yellows on my palette and I wasn't tired of the irises, so I rolled right into this one after finishing yesterday's painting. I really like the cropped feeling of this image, for the composition of it. The last of my linen panels for awhile, I do really like the feel of this fabric as a surface. Thanks for looking.
