Ready When You Are




9" x 12" Oil on panel.     The reflection of white in the water is from the snow on the mountains  that surround us.   I did not paint this on location as it has been just too windy this week.   I took the photo and then painted it in my home studio.  We are working every day at our property in the cove building a new studio/gallery for me!  I am very excited about it!   This boat belongs to one of our builders.  He is also quite the fisherman.

Offshore Rock



8"x10"  oil on panel.  $275.   Another painting in plain air.  What a lovely day we had.  I was chilled to the bone and had to take a hot shower when I finally got home but I loved painting on site.  It was a around 38 degrees but the wind made it colder.

First Outdoor Painting of the Summer!




8" x 10" oil on panel,  SOLD.    We are having a stretch of sunny weather and it was a great opportunity to paint outside today.  I found a spot out of the wind and I was near the tide pool area on the island at low tide.  I was surprised at how unaware I was of the cold air as I was too busy concintrateing on what I was attempting to paint!     I hope to try another painting tomorrow if the weather permits.

Church View



8" x 10" Oil on canvas.  SOLD     I was inspired to paint this scene because of the light on this church steeple framed by the mountain.  This is The Church of the Nazarene here in Seward.  It is right on 4th Avenue in a central part of town and I drive by it a lot.

Festive Bouquet


Click image to enlarge

8" x 10"  Oil on panel, $275.00       Having the longer daylight is allowing me to paint longer into the evening.  But... my days are becoming much busier with many other activities.  Today we boated out to our summer rental cabins 9 miles out in the bay.  It was a stunning day and we saw porpoises, otters and a humpback whale.  Soon we will be going out there every day!  So it is good that I have the evening light to paint by.
