Miss Barton Springs 2008

This was commissioned by a DC client, who loves Barton Springs. I just love painting there. Barton Springs is certainly one of mother nature's great beauties.

Red Sky in Morning

This canvas was a yellow bike, then a ship caught in a storm. Now, I've painted over it again with red. I love the layering and the texture. You can almost see hints of the ship through the red. When I was a kid, I loved the saying "Red sky in morning, sailor take warning, red sky at night, sailor delight." I would sit on big a rock in my backyard, look at the sky, and try to figure out the next day's weather. I miss feeling that close to the ocean.

Learning to Sail my Ship--Bid

Here's the big wave/ship painting that I've been working on for days. I wonder if the study, which took all of five minutes, is stronger. Life is funny that way. This is all from my head after drawing the studies. It felt great to see it take shape.

Pink Tulips Large and Determined -- $300 (48"x36")

These pink tulips have such a will to live. As each day passes they open more even as their petals fall.

Yellow Schwinn Sting-Ray Bicycle --$300 (48"x36")

We needed a yellow,white, metal, circle type painting for the creative quadrant of our house/living room. What better all encompassing object then a bike? My husband had this exact Schwinn, Sting-Ray, in yellow, called a Lemon Peeler, when he was a kid. Sadly, that one was stolen.
