Agate





This is an entry for an abstract show. There are abstract designs in nature and I was inspired by the beautiful ribbons of color in river agates found in our area on the shores of the Mississippi.

Frame: Thin gold metal

Sunflower Welcome



This is a still life that was a challenge to paint. The painting took on a life of its' own and I lost control. After a couple of discouraging sessions I was able to bring the painting back to my original vision. This is a larger painting than I usually do. I wanted to give the sunflowers room to show off their wonderful shape and color. This  painting will be available at The Red Wing Arts Association Nov.2 - Dec. 31.   

Original Acrylic
Size: 12" x 16"
Frame: Black floater frame with antique gold trim
Price: $300.

Please note: Background photographed a darker blue than in the painting.

Spring Sunset



This painting is of a beach in front of our cottage. I love this time of the day just before dusk when the beach is deserted and there is a quiet stillness.

A Lot of Pansies

 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
This painting seemed like a good idea at the time. I didn't anticipate how labor intensive it would be with each individual flower and leaf. I had to put it away several times to save strain on my eyes before I finished. I enjoyed working with the bright yellows and purples which are not the usual color pallet for my paintings. Pansies are such happy and cheerful flowers, always first to welcome spring.
 
This painting will be in the upcoming Red Wing Arts Association Holiday Boutique Show Nov. 2 - Dec. 31.
