Sundown in Indian Mountain


Sundown in Indian Mountain near Como is not to be missed. Time to stop whatever you're doing, grab a glass of wine, a lightweight fold -up chair, a camera and the dog ( to protect in case of bears) and head up the hill and enjoy the show!

Lair from Above


I liked the abstract quality about the image- a challange to paint and a chance to take advantage of the grays.

Through the Woods


Hiking through the snow on a crisp but not too cold late winter day we happened upon this lucky pattern of color. An artist should never be caught without her paints,canvas or camera!

Fast Brush



Painting to fast 70's dance music definitely affects the outcome of a painting.

These Lofty Trees Wave not less Proudly


Another fall day jeep trip with Fern. Sometimes on these excursions Fern will fly fish while I paint. Works out well.

Lake Harriman


It's good to shake things up from time to time and paint an off-size work. Keeps an artist on her toes....... It takes me 15 minutes to jog around this lake. My son can run it in 10.

Time to Head Home



I was painting on location but just couldn't get "inspired" by what I was seeing. It was midafternoon and everything appeared "flat". This painting was done by using the elements available, then projecting onto the canvas an evening scene, which I think made for a more attractive painting.

These colorful trees overlying the dark, woodsy background remind of a musical score somehow!

Boy in Hat

Ted's face has such character. Particularly at this age, he had so many funny expressions! Kids are great, and quite a challange to paint.

Valley Sweep


I like the rust-red bushes that form an hour glass on its side and the yellow grass that leads you into the stream and back towatds the mountains. It's a peaceful , quiet scene that beckons the hiker to enter.

Gently into the Night



The blue clouds over the strip of light sky over the mountains....That blue against the yellow-orange autumn foliage....the strip of highlights in the foreground grass and the red-brown earth underneath the trees.....light glancing off the trees in shadow on the left....these attracted me to this scene.

Up Four Mile


Fern and I drove our jeep up Four Mile Road. What a day! A painting around every turn. It was simply too gorgeous to stop and paint at any one spot so we kept moving and took lots of photos. Nothing beats painting on location, but time doesn't often allow for that.

Floral Study in Oil



Floral studies are a great chance to use bold, bright colors that you usually can't get away with in a landscape. I especially like doing small florals and varying the color combinations while keeping the other elements of design uniform.

Human Head, first attempt



It's good to have fun! :>)

This may be "the most ridiculous item of the day" but what fun I had with this, my first(and possibly last) sculpture of a human head.
