Barbara's Blue Gate 12x9 oil on canvas  Sold

I painted this during the Ft. Worth Historic Garden Tour. I was fortunate to paint at Barbara's house. She had an artist flair I found inspiring.  She fashioned still life paintings in every aspect of the garden. I had a wonderful time painting here.

Sunrise Poppy Garden12x16 oil on canvas

What a gorgeous landscape! This one stopped me in my tracks. I made the husband do a u turn on this one. This was on our way to work and on a busy road.  The rising sun and beautiful flower garden were a show stopper.

Sunrise in Style

24x36 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

It changed in a drastic shades of orange, pink and blue.  I was amazed at the array of colors in this beautiful morning sky.  It was both a challenge and joy to create on canvas.  I started with a warm base and used the paint brush  to lay in the big shapes.  I quickly grabbed the palette knife and started building texture and warm colors.

Garden of Golden Iris

20x16 oil on canvas

I created this in the studio after visiting and painting at the Ft Worth Botanical Garden. It is a great place to paint small color studies.   These are one of my favorite flowers to paint. I created this using the palette knife and thick color paint.

Color Garden

8x10 oil on panel

I created this at the Ft Worth Botanical Gardens in Ft Worth.  I was thrilled to return here again while the iris garden was in full bloom. I met the volunteers that maintain the gardens.  They were proud of their garden and happy to see me painting the fruits of their labor.  I was so grateful for this  to paint in this wonderful garden.

A sky this incredible must be a sign of a good day to come. Big open skies and vast landscape are good for my soul. I hope you fill the joy and appreciation I had just viewing it.

20x16 oil on canvas

Laura lives across the street from my in-laws in Granbury. While visiting them I noticed her irises blooming. I gathered reference photos and thought about painting this for several years. I'm glad I finally did. This was painted in the studio and painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.

Johnson City Garden

24x18 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

I participated in a paint out in Johnson City during their Lavendar festival.  We stayed in a charming bed and breakfast that had a beautiful garden filled with blooming flowers.  I painted a smaller version of this that sold. This was painted in the studio and painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.

This is my husband's restored 52 Chevy truck.  He came along on a paint out with me and the truck was in the perfect setting.  I painted and he waited patiently for me. We love to take the truck out on these little adventures.

This peaceful landscape is in the park in Benbrook, Texas. It provides a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of life. I created this with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.

Hydrangea Garden

12x16 oil on raymar canvas panel

I try to go to the Ft Worth Botanical Gardens as often as I can to see what is in bloom.  The hydrangeas and phlox were glowing in the morning sun on this warm summer day. I painted this with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.

9x12 oil on canvas

 I am in awe at the amazing color a wonderful sunrise can reveal. Gazing at this warm sunrise is a great way to start the day. #originalart;#oilpainting;#paletteknifepainintg;#sunriseslandscapepainting;artlover;#contemporaryart;#texaslandscape;

20x20 oil on canvas

I created this from a couple of small studies I created at Clark Gardens in Weatherford, Texas. I did ramp up the colors and texture.  Combining the warms and cool colors together was a balancing act. 

14x11 canvas

Our goal for the evening was to witness a beautiful sunset.  We live on the lake and it is heavenly to be on the water on as the sun goes down.  We were not disappointed! 

11x14 oil on canvas

This is inspired from the wildflower seed farm in Fredericksburg, Texas.  The wild flowers were popping with color in the morning sun.  Working with reds are always a challenge. Applying different tones of red with the palette knife adds depth and texture.  Love the process.   

This is the second piece of a diptych. I sold the one on the right. (below). The new owner loved it so much she wanted a second piece.  It was a challenge, but I am happy with the results.  

I hope she enjoys it as much as I loved creating it.

I created this landscape as a commission. It wasn't going my way so I set it aside.  I wanted to jazz it up so, I added the poppies.  I love the warmth it creates on this lovely landscape.
