Winter on Fire Acrylic 7 x 5

I am so fascinated by the color of the willows in winter. The contrast between their orange branches and the blue shadows they cast on the snow are eye catching in the winter landscape.

Afternoon Cafe Acrylic 6 x 6

When I was a kid eating outside was a treat. Painting a setting like this one reminded me of my childhood and how cool it was to be outside in nature making even the most mundane meal seem really incredible.

The warm light of the sun setting on this amusement park makes for an eye catching painting. I have to get my reflections in somewhere consequently, the glassy surface of this lake made a spectacular find.

Misty Embrace Acrylic 5 x 7



SOLD


I can find the most interesting subjects to paint in my own back yard. Denver can look so romantic at times. I often get the comment when I paint Denver on a day like this that it looks so much like Paris or London. Let's just pretend and call it little Paris.

Shoes are so Passe' Acrylic 7 x 5








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

One of my favorite passions is to paint figures. I love to capture a simple event and gesture as my focus. This young lady was sitting at the park putting her shoes back on after taking a dip in the large water fountain. She was very entertained by here surroundings and not paying much attention to what she was doing. I so remember that summer feeling.

It's difficult to paint the magic I felt the whole time I was in Italy but I will keep trying. Italy inspired a whole new appreciation for the urban landscape.
