"Foraging at Sunset"

"Cow in Hill Country Pasture"
SOLD

"Sunset at Yellowstone"
SOLD

We went to Yellowstone this past summer with my brother and his family. It was so fun traveling with them. While we were having a picnic, an amazing sunset took place behind us. I was running around like crazy taking pictures trying to catch as much of it on film as I could. It realy made me admire artists that do plein air paintings. The light is so fleeting.

"Flowers at the Pond"

It feels so decadent to spend two days in a row in my studio after not painting for so long.

Available: $100 + $10 shipping. Or send me an e-mail.

"Garden Pond"

I have decided to give up my space on the "Daily Painters" web site. I know there are a lot of artists wanting to join the group and I just don't know when I will be able to get back to producing regularly. Thank you for having me as a member. It's a great site.

Available: $100 + $10 shipping. Or send me an e-mail.

"The Road Home"
SOLD

If you've read my blog in the past you'll know that I love to have bits of a tinted canvas show through at the end of a painting, especially if it's orange. I'm getting comfortable enough with landscapes to have some of that going on. I don't like to tint the canvas and then paint on it right away. Too much of the paint pulls through that way. I like to tint, let dry and then paint which is how I did this painting. (Not by any planning on my part by the way, I just happened to have an orange tinted canvas laying around!)

"Open"

"Field of Poppies"
SOLD

I am loving this limited palette! It makes the whole process so much less complicated and I think my paintings look better.

"Fairy Forest"

I tried to keep my colors subdued and somewhat dark until the very end. Then I put in some very bright highlights for the sun dappled look. This one kind of has a fairy tale quality to me.

Available: $100 + $10 shipping. Or send me an e-mail.

"Leaning"
SOLD

"Dusk"
SOLD

I'm really happy with how this turned out but I had a heck of a time photographing it. In the photo the sky looks flat but it really has a nice yellow glow to it and some contrast in colors. I've spent about an hour trying to get the color just right in Photoshop. I think this is as close as I'm going to get.

"Hillside Shadows"
SOLD

"Glow"
SOLD

This is post number 100! I was hoping I would create something special for this momentous occasion and I couldn't be happier with this piece. I'm going to hang on to it for awhile. (Update - I did end up selling this piece after all to a very nice man from Houston who is getting married soon.)

I'll be leaving for Colorado in a couple of days. Apparently I can't check my paints. I may mail them or try watercolors while I'm there. Otherwise, I may not be posting for a couple of weeks.

"Fallen"
SOLD

Man, I have been painting, just nothing has been working out to my satisfaction. I worked on this piece yesterday and today. It was difficult.

"Farmland"
