Old Home Place

Old Home Place
8 x 10, pastel

This painting has a serendipitous story behind it. I was delivering a painting to the woman whose family had owned this place up until recently. I asked permission to take photos. I loved the cattle and the barn. So many photos are taken and never used for paintings, but one evening I decided that it was time that I attempted to paint these cattle and their surroundings. This was such a fun painting to create, just sort of fell together! Love when that happens!!

You Mocking Me?

You Mocking Me?
8" x 8", pastel

We are blessed with all kinds of wildlife and birds that frequent our bird bath both to bathe and drink. This mockingbird seemed truly surprised to see his reflection.

Evening Repose

Evening Repose
16 x 12, pastel

Sitting here in the house sneezing and hating the gray/tan sky and clouds from the influx of Saharan Dust, I long to see the beautiful sunsets so predominate here. The dust is supposed to provide us with more colorful sunsets. It is just so thick right now.

Painting this subject is one of my favorites to create. I loved the clouds that almost seemed to be iridescent. This painting is available, contact me if interested.
