I painted this a few months ago but don't think I'd posted it yet. It came together fairly easily. I do miss the ocean. Love painting it!

Birthday Roses, Acrylic Floral Still Life

6"x8", $95
Yesterday our youngest turned 13, today we celebrated our 31st anniversary....lots of celebration going on. It's been a wonderful Christmas season with lots of socializing, eating scrumptious food, hearing from friends all over the world, thoughtful gifts given and received, and lovely weather to boot! And now I am ready to get back in the studio and paint. Hope to post some new work these next few days. Happy New Year!

It's been a golden Christmas in that we enjoyed the best of Christmas, worshipful services, hymns at church and Christmas duets on the piano at home, beautiful weather, laughter, conversation, and so much wonderful food. Thank You, Lord.

Rochester Tree, Acrylic Portrait of Evergreen Tree

4"x6", $50
I finally got some painting in last night. Late. So much to do this time of year...can't get on top of it all. Anyway, this tree reminds me of the 7 years we lived in Rochester, NY and the beauty of snow on trees. Thank you for stopping by....Merry Christmas!

Bethlehem Night, Mixed Media

48"x24", $600
I wanted to try to imagine on canvas the scene of Bethlehem 2000 years ago. Looking up photos online, I saw that there are low hills there. I used a variety of printed tissue papers as my surface treatment including Happy Birthday, Christmas trees, Santas, etc. Then I used acrylic paints to depict the scene. I can only imagine what the Magi saw and how they followed that star.

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...
