Rich red and brown in the cast shadows and background make this painting a warm, inviting focal point.   In this painting I chose a few of my household items  for a grouping:  crystal vase, candlestick and clock.  What inspired me to paint this grouping was the random shadow pattern the flowers made on the tablecloth.  This painting is 30" x 40" x 1.5" deep and is painted around the edges.  Price:  $1785.

Little Boy Blue

This is a painting of my friend's son who obviously didn't want his picture taken, but his face is so full of expression, I had to paint him.  His baggy coat and rubber boots show that he is ready for action, not posing for the camera.  This painting is 12" x 16" by 3/4" deep and would look splendid in a frame.  Price:  $100 USD.

Oregon Coast

This painting of the Oregon Coast was inspired by a photo I took on holidays while on semester break during my university days.  The coastline is dazzling and this undulating cliff caught my eye.  This landscape is captured on an 8" x 8" x 1.5" deep canvas and is on sale for $100 USD.

Chickadee IX

Cooler weather?  No problem, I'll just fluff up my feathers.  Broad, bold brush strokes create a loose interpretation of a black capped chickadee that is feeling the wind.  Price:  $150 USD

Chickadee VIII

Singing his heart out, you can almost hear his song as this little bird comes to life on the canvas.  The bold brushstrokes of juicy paint keep the painting loose and vibrant.  The canvas is 8" x 8" x 1.5" deep, painted all around the sides.  Price:  $150.00 USD

Chickadee VII

Fanning out the tail, bending the knees, ready for take off.  There is so much movement in this painting he is just about flying off the canvas.  This little darling is painted on 1.5" deep canvas all around the sides and is 8" by 8" square.  Price:  $150 USD.

Sunkissed

Sunkissed is the companion piece to Sunstruck. Painted in matching colours and textures, this second painting of the same meadow with birch trees lines up with Sunstruck on both sides so it can be displayed together or by itself. This painting is available for $1785. Both these paintings are painted around the 1.5" sides and need no framing.
