Take Time to Play


Oil on Canvas, 30" x 24"

Blues and Greens go so well together, don't they?
This painting depicts a playful attitude - at least
that's what I was going for!

In our American culture, we reward achievement
which is a good thing. But not the only thing.
Play is important for all ages.
And I hope this painting gives the viewer
a reminder to do something just for the fun of it,
and feel the freedom of doing so.

Serenity


"Serenity"
Oil on Canvas, 20" x 16" $700

I don't really like to name my abstract paintings
because I hesitate to give a viewer
a prejudice as to what it signifies.
My hope is that each individual
will respond to abstract work
in his or her own individual way.

Having said that, I do believe
that this painting is serene.

Celebrate


Oil, $600
12" x 12"

I felt like celebrating as this painting came together.
One of my goals in painting is to express joy.
I feel like I succeeded with this one.

Coastal Storm, Abstract Seascape


Oil, 12" x 12" $600

I wanted to capture the motion and feeling
of what's happening in the ocean
during a storm. 
I love storms, by the way.
So, I used large brushes to give a sense
of the large wave shape,
and added orange elements
to indicate the sealife
under the water.

Mini Beach Abstract

 


Oil on Arches Oil Paper, $150
6" x 7.5"

This started as a strictly abstract strata-composition
painting,
and morphed into a semi-abstract one.
It takes me to my favorite beach in South Carolina.
I hope it transports you somewhere you love, too.

Grounded


Oil on Canvas Panel
16" x 20"
$700

I started painting this one while we were
still living in a rental house.
We made the big move to
our own home (YAY)
and I finished the painting there.
It's interesting to see some 
recent life struggles
as well as recent joys 
in this work.
Amazing how our artwork
can mirror what's happening
in our personal lives.

On the Grid

 


Oil, 12" x 16"

As an abstract, this painting can be hung
in any of four orientations.
I enjoy taking an old painting 
and choosing a "background" color, 
such as this blue-green gray,
and painting the negative space
to make an irregular grid.

Coastal Vibes


Oil, 16" x 16" $600

Bridging abstraction with realism,
this was just fun to create and ponder.
Where is this magical place?
Have I been there,
or is it in my future?
Or only in my imagination, perhaps.

Please contact me for purchasing information:

Coastal Life


Oil, 12" x 12"

Another piece in my series about living 
in the Low Country of South Carolina.
There is water everywhere here
and it's all beautiful.
There are bluffs and boulders
and oyster beds and flowers
and fences and puffy clouds.

I used oil paint, graphite pencil,
and various markers to create
this abstract painting.
